38 week check

I guess that I'm hanging onto this old board for as long as I can! It's going to be hard for me to change to the new one full time on Thursday. We had a very quick 38 week visit today. I've gained 1/2 pound (21 total), blood pressure was good, baby's heartbeat was good, and I'm dilated about 2. Not very thinned out yet, though, so dr says don't hold my breath about going into labor quite yet. She's reassuring though; she said even if I've had a few health issues during this pg, baby has been just fine along and she doesn't expect any surprises at delivery. I guess we're just going to play the waiting game.

A funny side note...I just had a few things for dh to do in the nursery last night, hang valances and a shelf. We have an old house so have lathe and plaster walls. He was driving in the screw for the shelf, and six inches to the right (a spot that of course won't be covered by the shelf) the wall broke! There is a piece of plaster that is ready to fall out and several cracks. We mudded it up and will have to paint over it. This is on our freshly painted wall. Gotta love these old houses!

Best wishes to all of you. Sheila, Perry, Kathy S and Trish--the race is on!!

God bless,
