Early, Late or On-Time?

Today, I saw Dr. Stands for my 37th week check up. My blood pressure went up from last time, but it's still normal (120/77) and the strep test came back negative. My stomach measured 37 inches and Mason's heartbeat was perfect. They also said my weight was good but that I had a lot of water retention. My feet are obviously still really swollen. I hate that I can't put them up at work, but the second I come home, Lawton has 2 pillows under them! I'm also lucky that he actually enjoys rubbing them! Dr. Stands checked my cervix and I'm still not dilated... he said that maybe one finger could squeeze through but that's it! He said Mason's in position and his head is extremely low. TELL ME SOMETHING I DON'T KNOW! I knew that already because of all the pressure and lower pain. He asked when Lawton would be out of school and that I shouldn't be by myself much. I told him this was his last week, yippee!!! So that means he can start coming to my appointments now! The next one is scheduled for Wednesday, June 10th.

Baby Erika

Lawton reminded me that when he was born, he was 20 days early, which would mean me going into labor today! But, he was the third child. I, on the other hand, was the first and only baby, but 10 days late/C-section. What's really cool is that Lawton's original due date was February 28th and mine was the 29th, a leap year. We would have had the same birthday, just different years!

Just last week, I had a dream about June 11th; when I mentioned it to Lawton, he said, "Nah, my guess is 2 weeks from today." When we looked at the calendar to record our "guestimates" it turned out that he picked June 11th too! So I don't know if that's another coincidence or a sign! If Mason's anything like his mom, he'll be right on time but if he's like his dad, he'll be stubborn and late! What's your prediction?

Love,
Erika, Lawton, and Baby Mason
