Week 38

Doctors Appointment
February 25th, 2010

LA had her weekly doctors appointment today. We are making progress and look to be right on track for the due date but that can slow down or speed up. She measured 38" which is 38 weeks which is where we are. LA went from 1cm to 1.5cm (almost 2cm) dilated and about 50% effaced.

She is starting to swell some in her feet and lower legs. She is nowhere near the kind of swelling she had with Aubrey but it is uncomfortable after a day at work. Her kidneys are fine because she is using the bathroom constantly.

We are nearing the end of another chapter and the start of a new chapter in our life together. It is exciting. However, I have to confess that after 17 months with Aubrey the first 9 months are a blur and I am pretty sure it's going to be like starting over. One good thing is that we have been banking some extra sleep each night. LA can hardly make it to 8:30 and I can't make it past 9:00. I know her excuse. I haven't figured out mine yet except that I am an extremely supportive husband.
