Everything looked good at today's OB appointment - and the best part is that I can gradually begin to increase my activity over the next week! I should still try to take it easy, but once I hit 36 weeks next Friday, she said I can do whatever I want (within reason), because with any luck it will help me go into labor.
She said that now that I've reached the 35 week mark, they won't try to stop labor should it start. In the same breath she told us that she couldn't believe I was still pregnant :) She also mentioned that if it looks like I'll be hitting the 38 week mark, we will schedule an induction, meaning that these babies will be here within 3 weeks! It seems so crazy to me that after all this time the end is finally in sight - we will finally be meeting our babies. The closer it gets, the less real it seems, for some reason. Maybe its because I'm starting to feel as though I've been pregnant forever ;)
The first thing I did after the doctor's appointment today was go get a pedicure - there's a place in Newton Center that has a special pregnancy pedicure, and it was amazing - so nice and relaxing. And tonight, Larry and I are going out to dinner. We can't go down to the Cape this weekend (the dr. didn't want me to be that far from the hospital), but at least I won't be stuck on the couch! I feel like a new woman!
