38 week appt

I had my weekly appointment at the OB's yesterday. We had to wait almost an hour, apparently he was running a little behind. We've never had to wait that long, but oh well. Everything looks good, bp is still the same (right at normal) and weight is up a little from the past weeks but I've definitely gotten my appetite back so that's no surprise. I was still 2 cm and about 75% effaced, so no change from the previous week. That's a little surprising just because I feel like I've had more contractions this past week, but maybe there was a little change and it was just hard to measure from the previous week.

I'm pretty certain she isn't going to be making her arrival this week and I will see my OB again next Wednesday, but we'll see. He's not on-call this weekend, so no going into labor then!

I'm still recovering from my sinus infection. Most of the sinus pressure and coughing has gone away, but if anything the congestion has gotten worse. My nose is so clogged up and just won't clear. It almost feels like my sinus passageways are teeny tiny and just can't open enough to let air go through. It's a really weird "drowning" feeling that I hate. Hopefully that will resolve itself within a day or two. Tomorrow is my last day of antibiotics and then with the recommendation of my OB and doula, I will start probiotics.
