Week 39 Check-Up

Today we headed to SB again for a check-up. Dr. Echt is on vacation until Sunday so I saw the nurse practitioner instead. Because I haven't had any significant contractions lately, she decided not to check my cervix today. The baby is situated very low and the heartbeat is normal. Afterward, I went downtown with Ella for a bit and did end up having more Braxton Hicks contractions but my guess is that it was just from all the walking we did. So far, I haven't felt anything regular, rhythmic, or labor-like. I suppose it is just as well. Brett has a writing deadline on the 28th, so it would be best if this baby held off until he was done with that anyway. We'll just keep waiting....
