OB Appointment
Now, I have a weekly appointment. I really like that becuase it gives me peace of mind and I can get to hear my baby's HB for 20 min for NST! My OB did a quick cervix check and he said "You are effaced about 80%, but 0% dialated. This is great". I didn't know exactly what he meant, so I did research about this, but there is no real conclusion because many women can be effaced or dialated a couple of weeks before giving birth and looks like everyone is different. I did learn that my body is definately getting ready for the big day and effacement at this point can mean a smooth delivery. Also, when this is the first baby, cervix will probably efface before it dilates. For some reasons, I have a feeling I might go into a labor before my due date, but let's see if my prediction is true.....
I forgot to ask him about the result from Group B Strep test. I am assuming I am ok becuase they haven't mentioned anything about it. My blood pressure was higher than normal at last appointment, but looks like it's back to normal, so I am glad! I am not completey out of woods yet. I still have concerns and anxiety about PreE, Still birth, etc. I am still praying for everything to go well until I see my healthy baby.
Baby Stuff
We got big baby items assembled and successfully (?) installed the baby car seat! As for installing the car seat, we followed the instruction, but we aren't sure if it's correct as the base still moves. At the birthing class, we were told to contact a fire department because they will correctly install a car seat for us, so we are going to do that this weekend.
I love this Pack'N Go from BRU! It was on sale and it's teddy bear!! We will have this in our living room so that we don't have to go upstairs to change diapers, etc. It took a while to assemble, so it's not as "Pack'N Go" as I thought!
I was told that having a bouncer is nice because it's very portable and you can carry it around with the baby. If I am taking a shower, I can put my baby in there, so she will be under my supervision all the time.
Our house has many baby stuff now, so it feels so real that we are welcoming LO soon to this house!

I LOVE cooking. To me, cooking is so much fun and gives me such a Zen moment, so I was actually looking forward to this task! I love buying fresh products and I enjoyed making 4 frozen dishes for post baby arrival. I made "Cheesy Casserole", "Greek Lasagne", "Chicken Lemon" & "Creamy Tortellini"

This was also on my check list of week 37. I wanted to write a very personal letter for my DH once I hit the full term. I usually write letters /cards when I want to be reallly personal with someone. Basically, I wanted to share my feeling with him and thank him for every support he's provided through this journey. He was my rock during this ups and downs past years and I am so lucky to have someone like this in my life. I couldn't stop crying while writing this letter, but I did complete it! It's safely sealed and packed in the hospital bag for now. It's surreal, but he will be reading this letter when we are at the hospital before the baby's arrival.

I am physically and mentally still doing ok, but I am definitely walking like a prego! I feel like my tail bone will break at some point. My hands are quite swollen and are bit painful to bend fingers, but my feet seem ok. I had my last chiropractor session and my sciatic pain is better. I am still trying to walk on the tredmill for 30 minutes, but it's getting a bit more uncomfortable now. I am still going to a prenatal yoga once a week and I am finally the oldest in terms of pregnancy week among the class, so I get to pick how many squat flows we do!
I feel good about what has been accomplished so far, but there are still small things to do here and there. Oh, I need to look into the 529 college saving plan!!
