37 weeks...and still counting (Gabriel update)

Well, today I had my 37 week appt.  I am a little more than 2 cm. dilated but not enough to say 3.  So pretty much a two.  She said last week I was a 2 (but a small 2), so we've made minor progress.  I'm "a little thick, but mostly effaced."  So, I'm guessing I'm more than 50% so maybe more like 70%?  We got off of that topic so I forgot to ask for a percentage.  I told her about my having to come in last Thursday and described my symptoms.  She didn't seem happy with how the NP handled it, and said if I had noticed fluid that that wasn't normal.  So, she decided to bump up the ultrasound scheduled for next week to today.  We checked the amniotic fluid levels and it was a 12 this week...up from 9 last week.  Woohoo!  So, he is now in the good normal range rather than on the low side of normal.  

While we were doing the ultrasound Gabriel was being fussy and kept turning his head every which way.  Then he finally just stuck his tongue out at us.  lol  Yeah, he kept sticking it out and wiggling it.  My dr. commented that she couldn't wait to meet this funny little boy.  (Honestly I had a hard time making it out myself on the screen, but when I did see it for a second it was cute.)  

The appt. ended with the comment, "Well, I'll see you next week if I don't see you before then in Labor and Delivery."  I think Brian is annoyed that I didn't ask for another estimate.  But, I figure it should be about the same only on the 2 week side.  It's all just speculation so I figure asking constantly won't make it happen any sooner.  lol  So, we shall see if I make it to the next appt. or not.  I keep telling him if he's cranky about the lack of space in there that he's more than welcome to come out and enjoy his very spacious room and home.  :)
