Labor is progressing! 34+ weeks

I went to my doctor's appt today with Dr. Shroeder. I'm offically 34 weeks and 5 days but still measuring 2 weeks ahead, so the belly of a 37 weeker. I'm sure my 'more than expected' weight gain could be a factor in that equation!

Baby has also started dilating. She estimated me at 2-3 cm! Whoo hoo! I know this doesn't mean I'll be laboring soon...I want this baby boy's lungs to mature more after all...but it's nice to see he's moving along as he should. Asher did this for weeks also before I was induced, so I do feel I still have some more time to go.


Plus, if anything, it's given my husband another 'kind kick in the pants reminder' he needs to finish painting Asher's new room! Or else I'm about to go Marine Drill instructor on him. haha.
I also finally invested in compression socks! Yes, a bit late as I started RN school over 4 years ago. Being on my feet (DID I MENTION PREGNANT) as a staff RN for 13+ hours is much different than being a nursing student.
