So my doctor isn't really mean. In fact, we really like going to him (yes, I make Jared go with me to all the pregnancy appointments). Yesterday I had another appointment and he asked about stripping my membranes. We were planning on asking him to do it so we said yes. I remember being scared to do it with Crue because almost everyone said it hurt so bad but it didn't really hurt and I was fine afterward (once I got some water). This time though, holy cow it was not so good! It didn't hurt really bad, like say a bad cut would, but it was sure some really uncomfortable pain!! Jared told me after that I did really good and I told him I held my breath through a lot of it because it was not fun. Then my doctor had me stick around and do a non-stress test and get an ultrasound to make sure there was enough fluid. He usually starts that at 41 weeks (which I am today) and you have to do it twice a week. So I'm scheduled to go back Thursday. I probably won't post about that appointment because there's not much to post anymore, especially since I just went yesterday. When the girl was doing the ultrasound she was using the small machine that can go from room to room instead of the nice one that they can project on the wall (that they use for the other ultrasounds) and the computer was turned just enough so I couldn't see it but I think Jared could. She asked if we knew what we were having and I said a boy. She said he was really showing it off. It was pretty funny. So look forward to the next post being about the baby getting here!

I got my membranes stripped twice with Hallie. The second time, I said "You better make this one count." The more it hurts the better right? Only if you want that baby out :) I know it's no fun being a woman sometimes. That baby must be pretty comfortable in there!
YAY! Cant wait!
Never having even achieved 40 weeks, I feel soooo bad for you! But my last c-section wasn't a walk in the park, either...
I got my membranes stripped with Mia and it was pretty uncomfortable and didn't even do anything :( I can't wait to see your new baby!! And YES lets totally take some newborn pics and some of Crue while we are up there!! I'll plan on it!!!!!!
