37 weeks; 3 or less to go!

Had a doctor's appointment today. Lost weight. Now I'm at a 7lb overall gain for this pregnancy. Doctor says that if I come next week and decide that I want to schedule the birth that he would be comfortable doing that at 39 weeks. I certainly don't want to rush things, but definitely am worried about going naturally. I am alone too much and have the other 3 kids to worry about finding arrangements for. So, for now I am just cruising along. He did check me today, but showed little progress. Baby isn't even down very much. Doctor says that he wouldn't expect me to do anything before Labor Day, but we will find out if there are any changes at my next appointment next week, Wednesday. I'll keep you updated!
