Tracy,
We all are thinking about you and your little one. Sounds as though things are getting real close. My doctor used to say they'd come when they were fully cooked!!!LOl We want them to come that way...no sooner. MODS says 37 weeks is good. At the volunteer conference 2 years ago they had a doctor talking about all of the brain development that goes on from 34 to 37 weeks. Wow!! Of course, we preemies (I was a 32 weeker) DO catch up....Well, I think I did!! But it is best to be inside momma for that time.
Take care and keep us posted.

Hi Everyone,Just wanted to let you know that I will be 36 weeks tomorrow. Yippee!!! On Tuesday I woke up at 2am and was having cramps and contractions that did not let up. Needless to say, I did not get much sleep that night. I did have a doctor appt at 9am and I had a non-stress test scheduled in which they showed me having contractions every 3 min apart consistently. My midwife checked me and I am 50% effaced and 1cm dilated. I went home and rested all day to see if the contractions would stop. They eventually stopped middle of the night. They did space out to 7 min. apart later that afternoon, so I felt good that they were going to stop later on.I am praying that I can make it to 37 weeks, just one more week for this little one to be fully cooked. I do hope to deliver early and with all the pressure and contractions I am having, there may be a good possibility.I can't wait to hold this little man soon.How is everyone else doing?Blessings,Tracy
