37 weeks: Update

Un"fortune"tly I'm still pregnant. My fortune cookie lost its bet. So this weekend, maybe? It would be nice to not deal with the 24/7 back pain, the nausea, and kick to the ribs. OH and not waddling like a penguin haha. My hospital bag is packed a ready to go. I keep looking at it and visualizing going into labor. That method of naturally inducing labor isn't working. So I'm walking as much as a can, with some dancing here and there. 

Every morning when I wake up I say "Good morning beautiful baby. Is today the day I'll be seeing you?" I think that if I sound cheerful and excited, it might encourage her to want to come. Not only am I excited for her to come, her dad is just as excited. And so are a lot of people. She will be showered with lots of love by family and friends. 

I have my next doctor's appointment on Monday, that is if I'm still pregnant that day. I have a couple of contractions a day but they are far apart. I've had a few people tell me to take castor oil. I don't know how many times I've told them "NO!" I'm not going to risk taking it and going into labor with those side effects. That will be a very unpleasant experience for me.
