36 Weeks 5 Days

I saw the doctor yesterday and I'm not dilated even one bit - no change from last week. Baby did well on his BP again. I am still measuring at 38 weeks (same as last week). She said that's probably because he has dropped further into my pelvis. Nothing else to really report there.

I woke up twice last night to go to the bathroom and once or twice from contractions. They seem to be more intense the last day or so, but still not regular. They don't really "hurt" but I know sitting at work my face gets flush and I feel hot and then sure enough my belly is tight. It seems like my whole uterus is contracting now instead of just one side of my belly. I have had more discharge in the last week, too, but it seems normal for now.

I think we have picked a name - Ben finally gave me a list of five names he likes and I picked the one I liked the best. We may still change our minds, but as of right now we're going with Quinn.

I have this feeling that I won't go into labor and that I will end up with a c-section on the 14th as planned, but I haven't been this far in pregnancy before and have nothing with which I can compare this. I will just update as I can and we'll see what happens next!
