36-week doctor appointment

We just got back from our appointment and learned we are making only a little progress. I'm not dilated any yet, but am 30% effaced. Also, Drew's head is straight down where it should be, which is good news, but he hasn't dropped yet (which I have kind of figured the past few days b/c of my horrible heartburn and trouble breathing). The doctor said I've GOT to walk, which of course I know, but getting my butt off the couch and into the heat is another story. But......I'm going to MAKE myself walk at least 5 times this next week....and hopefully that will make him drop and make me begin to dilate. So no real exciting news to report, but I guess that's okay; there isn't necessarily supposed to be at this point. My blood pressure has continued to climb and this week the doctor told me she wants me to reduce my work hours to half days. I can tell after only 2 days of working half days that I feel a little better, but I am having a HARD time relaxing. I'm already bored....guess I will have to find some good books to read, movies to watch, and scrapbook a little. We don't have a whole lot going on this weekend. My mom is coming over for the day tomorrow, so I should get some walking in around the mall. :) Other than that, we're just going to be taking it easy! Hope everyone has a great weekend!
