32w, 1d

Had my 32 week check-up today!

The doctor said baby is measuring big! Not sure what that means.....I was hoping it meant they were maybe a little off in predicting the due date and that he'll actually come sooner OR that they'll induce sooner, but neither was mentioned. Darn.

Cade's heartbeat is at 140 bpm, so he's doing great. And he was very playful during the appointment so the doc could see firsthand what I have to go through every day!

We also discussed my terrible sciatica pain and constant inability to get around the house without holding onto things or husbands (ha!) and having almost constant pain and he said we can discuss "stripping my membranes" at my 37 week appointment. I'm not sure if that means he'll DO it then, or discuss it for the following week or what. Man, if he'll strip at 37 weeks, he will be my new best friend!!!!! I had this done with Jace on my due date and labor STILL did not start on it's own, so I ended up being induced at 41 weeks and I don't want to go that late again! So if he'l do the procedure at 37 weeks, I can be hopeful that perhaps labor will start before week 38 or 39. Here's to hoping!

All in all a great appointment, and I go back in 13 days for another check-up! Woot! Home stretch!

(AND we have another appointment at the 4D place tonight because Cade wasn't being so agreeable to being photographed at the last one, so we're excited for that!)
