Holy balls it's hot!

I thought the advantage of my due date being in June was to avoid this excessively hot weather! This pregnant lady is about to have a heat stroke, and I haven't done anything. Sleeping last night was next to impossible, everywhere I slept I'd wake up in a pool of sweat (I know, I'm sorry...it's gross!) Tonight will probably be just as rough, but fortunately after today it's supposed to cool off a bit. We've really been having some gorgeous weather and I wish I had the energy to take Lexi for a walk but after work I'm just exhausted.

On the baby front, Thursday we started our weekly appointments. For anyone who's lost track, I will be 37 weeks on Tuesday...Logan will be full term! Everyone thinks I'm crazy but I actually WANT to go to my due date, if not a few days after. I do want to avoid an induction like the plague, but if that's what happens then so be it. This whole pregnancy I've been planning on taking 8 weeks...a couple weeks ago my HR informed me I only get 6 weeks paid for a vaginal birth. This means that I actually only get 4 weeks paid because it takes 2 weeks for my STD to kick in. I was incredibly pissed to find this out 4 weeks before my due date. I'm going to talk to my HR and doctor some more and see if there's any way I can "cheat the system" so to speak and use LTD or something. Otherwise I'll just come back for a week and then take vacation. I tried too damn long for this baby, I'm spending as much time with him as humanly possible! Not only that but we don't have daycare until August 21.

At my 35 week appointment I was dilated to the size of a fingertip, so under a 1 but still progress! When the doctor checked me she says "It's going to feel like I'm reaching for your tonsils..." o_O That was a severe understatement!! They did not check me Thursday but will be checking me next week. They hooked me up to the NST monitor Thursday because I expressed some concerns about baby's movements. He had a dance party in there Tuesday night and then over the next two days his movements became less and less. The nurses had a heck of a time trying to find his heartbeat but they finally did. They monitored me for about 15-20 minutes and everything checked out fine. Logan was NOT a happy camper and was kicking the monitors so much the nurses actually had to re-position them a couple times. The nurses have decided Logan doesn't like them because they also have a hard time finding his heart beat with the doppler. He's a very uncooperative baby...he must get that from daddy!
