38 weeks...

I'm officially 38 completed weeks pregnant (AKA a lifetime!) and never would have imagined reaching this point! Most of you know I had a little hospital stay this past weekend because of a "stomach" bug that got the best of Perry and me. 3 bags of fluid, 2 bags of potassium, and 24 hours later I was back in my own bed!! (Did you know... if they push Potassium through an IV without diluting it feels like your arm is burning off of your body -it was awesome) Perry looked good on the monitor (much better than I) and my contractions calmed down considerable once we were hydrated. (I was only 1 and a half centimeters dilated) Not sure if it was indeed a violent bug of part of what "I" do when labor is close. I did the same thing with York about 5 days before he was born. I return to the OBGYN's office (my second home with personalized cot) on Friday to see if we have progressed any further. If I have reached 2 centimeters then we will schedule an induction for Tuesday the 23rd! If I have NOT progressed I guess I will be pregnant until Christmas! HA! Just kidding... not sure what the plan is if that's the case. I have several newborn turkey outfits that Perry MUST wear! ... so he better decide to come on and make his debut soon! I have officially switched gears from the "keep him in" TO any suggestions to "get this guy out" will be greatly appreciated! FYI... I ate Chuy's (spicy Mexican) last night -I know you all are thinking I'm crazy for choosing that after a nasty episode of nausea/diarrhea but that is how READY I am! I have also resumed my "fast-walking" regimen and feel like I will urinate on myself at any time. All other suggestions will be considered! Until Friday...
