38 weeks, 2 days: Nothing....
Went to the doc today and that's what's going on...nothing! I was hoping for something at my first internal exam, but nada. I saw Dr. Rodriguez today and I was able to get some more info about the baby. He said her head is pretty really low which is a good sign. Her heartbeat was 154 and she's still moving around a lot. She likes to do this "butt thing" while I'm laying on the table. She sticks it really far out and it looks like an alien growing in there. He saw her do it and started feeling around naming body parts...butt, leg, feet. Everything is where I thought it was. I asked for a weight estimate and he said maybe 7 lbs, but he didn't think she was big at all. Whew! That's good for me. I'm still measuring right at 38 weeks and no weight gain! Still 146. After this past weekend I was sure I gained something. I was SOOOO BAD...ice cream, Oreos, pizza, Qdoba, Joe's Crab Shack. I'm to the point now where I'm just hungry all the time again and only have two weeks left so who cares!!! The inducing subject came up again and he advised that I don't do it unless I'm 3-4 centimeters already dilated or it's medically necessary. Either way they won't let me go past 41 weeks so we'll at least have a baby by the 24th, hopefully sooner. It's been awhile so here is an update belly pic taken on Saturday - 37 weeks, 4 days.

We headed down to the beach this past weekend while Michael's mom, sister and niece were in town. We ate at Joe's Crab Shack and then hung out for 30 minutes at the beach. Hannah had a good time playing in the water. Here are a couple of pics. Me and Angela at Joe's...I think my nose is growing along with my belly...
Did I mention that I love living near the beach? Me and Hannah...she rubbed my belly all weekend and loved when Addison would kick her back.
One for the books. I look like a whale! This one will definitely get laughed at when I go back and look at it 10 years from now. I love you honey! Thanks for rubbing my feet all the time. You're the best!
More updates to come. -Erika
