38 Weeks

Today was my 38 week appointment. Another week down and only one more to go. It's making me a bit sad, but as my sis said..."There's nothing better than holding your little one." And yes she's right and we are soo excited to meet her.
Dr. Hall is out of the office for the rest of the week so the only appointment time I could get in was 245pm. After Ry got out of school, we made lunch and headed to do a couple errands before my appointment. First, was Home Depot to buy a locking door knob to lock out sneaky fingers from the treats in our storage. Second, was Target to get milk bags, nursing pads, and nursing cream. I noticed the other day that I had none of the above and with only a week left, it's important to have them on hand.
We got to the clinic just in time. I had a talk with the girls about no drama, no fighting, no screaming, no crying, etc. We sat down and they really listened to what I said. They were very well-behaved. We were called back in 5 min. The nurse took my weight...no change. Then time for my blood pressure...134/70. Still a little high, but Dr. Hall was still not worried. Then for my urine test...only a trace of protein. Everything was looking great.
After we waited about 15 min. Dr. Hall came in to our room. He measured my belly and checked Kodee's heartbeat. All perfect! Then he felt around my pelvic region and yes she is still resting low...and I feel it everytime I move! Then he asked if I wanted to be checked to see how dilated I was. I said No, cause I figured I am going in to be induced next week so it doesn't matter to me how far I am dilated right now. Also, I needed to get home before Rhett got home from school.
He next called the hospital to schedule my induction again. Apparently when he checked my chart, he had the notes of me being induced next Fri. But when he double-checked with the hospital, it wasn't in their system. So now I am officially scheduled, twice, LOL!
After we were done, I asked to get a pic with him and the girls. I noticed with all the kiddos births, I never once took a pic of the wonderful Dr. Hall who had delivered all them. He was more than happy to take both girls in his arms and pose for a quick pic. I swear I have the most patient Dr. He even asked if I could please send him a copy. Not many Doctors act like they have all the time in the world to make you feel as though you are their only patient. Well Dr. Hall does and I am so lucky and happy he's my Dr.
I go back in one week for my final check-up...yep the final one!!! Man, the first of my pregnancy seemed to drag a bit, but these past few months have flown by FAST! It's amazing it's all coming to an end, but we are anxiously looking forward to be able to hold her in our arms and love her. Also we are excited to see which of the girls she'll look like and if she'll have lots of hair like they did...

Us girls with the best Dr. around...38 Weeks Along
