Things are closed for business down there. Not dilated, not effaced, nothing. Ben is still up high and head down, and I am having only a scant few BH contractions. Amniotic fluid levels are grand. He seems to like it in there. The longest my OB would let me get to would be 41 weeks before inducing.
I did let my doc know how bad my back pain is, and he said I could take Tylenol (which I have been resisting but must get over it at this point), Tylenol PM or even Vicodin if I need it. I'll start with the Tylenol. I'm still a purist for some reason. I haven't even taken any GasX like he told me I could take to combat any embarrassing situations at work. I am also going to see if insurance will cover "physical therapy for sciatic pain," AKA massages.
I have decided to just start forking over my hard earned cash to the chumps that run the med center parking. I felt considerably better this AM after the short walk vs. the long one. As one of my coworkers told me, I no longer looked "homicidal."
We have set up the Pack N Play, and are clearing the nursery of a bunch of junk so it should be ready for pictures soon. Plan to get the carseat installed and inspected next Tuesday, since I won't be delivering anytime soon.
Here is a 36 week picture:

Awesome belly!!!! Hope you feel better soon... but then I suppose that comes with delivery. Good luck!
You look beautiful! And yes- deep down inside I knew that the talk of TPN was right around the corner, just was in a little denial myself I knew. Isn't that one of the bad things about being a nurse, you always know what's lurking ahead...LOL! I hope you're back pain improves and that cervix starts some nice effacement in the weeks ahead when you want it too. ((hugs))
Sorry that it has been getting so rough lately. I hope things start progressing soon so you can meet your little guy.
Even though you are in some miserable pain, you look absolutely adorable. I'm looking forward to nursery pics too. (:
Hi K! Love the pic. You look awesome, girl. I think you are smart to pay for the close parking. Hope the Tylenol helps, too.
Guess what? The big blue trucks came and picket up the recycling today! Of course, they only took what was in the green bin and ignored the huge pile next to it, but hey, it's something.
Oh, and I am sorry Ben is not showing any signs of giving you relief from being his incubator. Hope you don't have to go past your due date, with all the discomfort you have.
