pregnancy - 37w 4d

i went in today with really high hopes that things had progressed. i'd been having more and more intense braxton hicks contractions and my pelvis feels like it's being split open. good signs!

but no. nothing has progressed. and because the baby gave me a break in the pain and movements today the doctor gave me another ultrasound to make sure that the baby hadn't flipped into a breech position. it hasn't. it is, however, at an angle into my pelvis on the right side. just like mia was. and i haven't progressed at all.

i was told that the baby would not be coming this week and to get out and walk. at which point i had to try very hard not to burst into tears. i honestly don't know why i'm so obsessed with getting the baby out. other than being uncomfortable and fearing for a huge baby, i mean. it's just not ready yet - i just have to keep telling myself that. sure, i might be ready, but that means nothing. bah.

oh, and i gained another 3 lbs. since last week. damnit all to hell. not gonna stop me from stuffing my face with indian food at lunch, though.
