I had another dr. appointment today. Not really happy with the scale this week - must have been the brownies, cookies, and jelly beans. Just hope the baby didn't gain as much as I did in a little over a week or the delivery is going to be interesting!
I'm on bed rest until 37 weeks, so that's a little less than two more weeks. Although I wish I could be up and around in another week I would rather have the little guy stay put until he is completely ready. I'm not supposed to take any more terbutaline, so if I start having regular contractions I'm supposed to go in to the hospital. She said they won't do anything to make labor progress though, so I guess it's more for monitoring purposes than anything else.
The nurse mistakenly thought I was supposed to have my GBS test today, but it was too early. Since I was already undressed for that the dr. went ahead and did an exam. I am still high, which is good, but I am now a "loose" three cm dilated. She could feel the baby's head, but could push him back up so he's not lodged in the pelvis yet.
Eighteen days down, twelve more to go!

Oh my goodness. Your last paragraph has me freaked out a teensy weensy bit...3cm!!! I'd come out if I could so that you would not have to move at all! {{hugs}}
Hang in there, Dellie! Squeamish girl that I am, that phrase she "could push him back up" really got to me! That couldn't have felt very fun for you, huh? Oh my! I'll be counting down with you!
Wow, I can't believe how quickly the time has flown by (for me... obviously, it's just dragging for YOU, lol) We'll be praying for a healthy baby and safe delivery!
