39 weeks

So today I am 39+2. Actually that's baby's age not mine, I'm still holding on tight to 29 for a few more weeks. This week has been ok. I'm working half days and tomorrow is my last day of work. The waiting has become much tougher and I'm feeling even more restless and distracted with each passing day. The days are also going by very slowly. I feel like I need something to occupy my time, but have trouble getting myself interested in doing much of anything that would actually distract me. Physically I'm still doing pretty well. With some more rest over the last week, my blood pressure was great at my appointment today and I'd managed to drop some of the fluid weight. She also informed me that I'm 1.5 cm dilated and 70% effaced and that the baby is engaged (0 station). Initially this made me really happy and excited, but now I'm thinking that this may make waiting even harder because I feel like things should be happening. I guess waiting is hard regardless and I'll just try to relax and let go since I can't control this at all. That's really about it from here, we're headed out to dinner with some friends. Matt decided that he wanted a Juicy Lucy burger (burger with melted cheese inside the meat) and fries and I have to say that the salty food sounds great right now. Bring on the fluid retention!!
