Down and ready

Went to the doctor this morning for my 37 week and 4 day check...the good news is that he has dropped and his head is down. But not dilated just yet. Hoping that moves a long a little bit faster. I am so physically uncomfortable it's terrible. I was pretty active this weekend, more then normal, doing a lot cleaning, laundry and just in general moving around. My blood pressure was higher then normal, but no worries there, doc says it could just be from my lack of sleep. Apparently I am retaining water...which I guess if you go by my puffy eyes that would be a sign of it. Now is the time to start looking into the old wives tales that everyone talks about that brings on the labor. Lots of spicy food and walking for sure!
