30 days to go...

...i am convinced i'm leaking amniotic fluid. i've been waking up every hour tossing and turning fretting about this so i finally just got up. i did a little internet searching on the topic to ease my mind until i call the doctor's office in the morning. this close to term (1 week away, 37 weeks is considered full term) it would be ok to go into labor. if i really am leaking, the doctor may induce or have me wait it out a bit and be cautious about infection. because of rayrays big round head blocking the cervix, i only leak when i'm laying down so its hard to tell whats going on without an exam.

otherwise, things are going fine here. we met w/ xena today to write up the birth plan. its surprising how much is recommended go into the plan. mostly pain management and mom/baby care, but also what to do in case of complications.

toured the hospital this weekend and pre-registered. it helped us know where to go and what to expect. a baby factory, i tell ya. we watched a new family packing there little one up to go home. i kept staring at her thinking, wow, 2 days ago she looked just like me and that little baby she's holding was INSIDE her.
