37-week check-up

We just got back from our 37-week doctor appointment a little while ago. We passed a big milestone this week - Drew is now considered 'full-term'!!!! The doctor said we have made GREAT progress this week. He said that he wasn't sure how much of the progress was due to mother nature versus walking - but to keep walking! We have been walking like crazy this week - and plan to continue this next week. Here are the highlights from our apppointment:

-Drew has dropped alot from last week, but still has a little ways to go until he has completely dropped.
-I'm dilated to a 1 and 50% effaced - this means is could be days or week(s) until I go into labor. Of course, I would prefer the days to weeks - so he said to just keep walking and progress will come.
-I didn't gain any weight from my last appointment. Yay! So Sam and I went to Coldstone to celebrate after our appointment. :)
-We go back next Friday at 2 pm for our 38-week appointment. I'm excited that I get to see my regular doctor - we haven't seen her since I was 12-weeks along!

That's about it as far as the appointment goes. We are just relaxing at home tonight and I'm not sure what we are going to do the rest of the weekend. Well Sam has a test on Monday, so I'm sure he'll spend quite a bit of time this weekend studying. Think we might go to dinner and Love Guru tomorrow night! Hope everyone has a great weekend!
