37 Weeks

I had another doctor's appointment today. Everything is good. I had to do another non-stress test (NST) to measure Ellie's heartbeat and contractions. No contractions :) Ellie kept moving around so Jason had to press down on the heart monitor which made Ellie move more. Finally, the doctor came in and we were able to quit the torture machine.

The doctor asked me if I was dilated. I said, "Uh...I think you are supposed to tell me that." So, he measured and said that I was 2 cm and that the head was down. He said that he thinks that we won't make it to Jan. 17th. He predicted the 38th week or early in the 39th. I asked him if he thought this would happen naturally, and he said, "Of course." Since he was so cavalier about his prediction, I figured that he meant that he would "create the date."

That's it for now...just hanging on...not getting much LENGTHY sleep. I guess this is nature's revenge ;)
