38 Weeks

I hit 38 weeks today. My 38 week appointment isn't until Wednesday morning. I'm curious to see if there's been any change. I haven't really experienced any more pre-labor, so I won't be expecting much. I think the baby may have dropped even lower since whenever I walk for any distance, I feel increased pressure both in the front and the back. I've also lost a couple of pounds, which is often a sign that you're close to the end. But, as with all the other signs, "close" is a very relative term.

My mom, step dad and brother will be visiting this weekend and next week, and we've made plans to have dinner out in Waikiki on Saturday night. So I'm hoping to hold off giving birth until after that. Andy's hoping I make it all the way to the 18th, since that will mean he will be off work through basically the end of the month. lol I guess that would be okay - I'm still not totally uncomfortable, but it does get harder to be patient as time goes on. :)
