thirty-seven weeks.

Well, the ultrasound went well. My fluid levels are perfectly normal (which is so good), but the baby is measuring small. The doctor said Baby is still growing, just at a very, very slow rate. So we're keeping an eye on it, and counting kicks/movements religiously.

Now I just wish I knew what was going on with my body! Seriously, I have so many "early labor" symptoms, but still no progress. Well, maybe I'm dilating this week (man, I hope so). But still no active labor. I'll have contractions in my back, and a little in the front, for hours. But they'll be 15 to 20 minutes apart, and then slowly stop.

The doctor said to have lots of sex, and walk more. So that's what we're doing... I'll come back from walking the dogs with contractions, but they won't last and they won't get stronger. SO frustrating! I'm worried that the baby isn't getting everything he (or she) needs, so I kind of think I would feel better if I gave birth sooner rather than later. The doctor kind of feels the same way; that's the impression I got anyway. But I just... there's only so much I can do. :/ I'm just praying and waiting and praying and waiting.
