Looking towards week 38

Today I had my Doctor's appointment. Daniel and I had a ton of places to go today and I tried to tell him what would work best for the route since we had so many places to go to save time and gas. We went from home to Chase, Chase to Target, Target back home (to get Daniel's phone he accidentally forgot), from home to Robeks, Robeks to Desert Schools, Desert Schools to the Doctors office, to the hospital, to Chipotle, to Anna's Linens, to Sprouts, then to a different Anna's Linens then finally home!
As you can see I had a lot of places that I wanted to get to today and I survived them all. I say this because I cannot be on my feet for a long time anymore. After about 1 hour of being on my feet my legs, ankles, and feet swell up and I look like I should be on The Biggest Loser. I can't wait to get my body back to normal!
So, you are probably wondering what happened at the Doctors office and why Daniel and I went to the hospital today. Well, we went through the norm at the OB/Gyn and I was wondering how much things had changed since last week. I was 37 weeks and 3 days pregnant today but once again Landon measured at 38 weeks. So he is still measuring ahead of schedule. I was told that I am almost 3 cms dilated now and still about 80% effaced. I was asking the Doctor "so once I'm 100% effaced that's when I'm in labor?....he said "well, you can go into labor before 100%". He was like maybe we should make a plan for the birth.
As we talked a little bit he basically let me know that he doesnt really want me to go to the full 40 weeks because since Landon is so big already I may not be able to get him out and then they would need to do a C-section. I dont really want a C-section but if Landon doesnt come on his own soon...I think the only other option is to enduce. With all of this said I just kind of looked at the doctor and said... I dont know what to say. The thing was I didnt know what to say because all of that is HUGE. I didnt really know what to do because I really want him to come soon...but on his own. So I will be waiting until next weeks appointment and see what happens. If Landon still decides that he is too comfortable like his Mommy was at birth I will be talking to the Doctor about enducing.
With all that said, we walked out of the Doctor's office and I told Daniel 'that may be the last time we are in there, maybe one more time if Landon doesn't come before next week.'
We went over to the hospital because I needed to find out a price for something that AHCCCS doesnt cover and to fill out the admitting paperwork so we wont have to do that when I am actually in labor. I was happy to find that now they have the paperwork I will basically get right into the hospital, get a room, and they will bring any paperwork that I need to sign, to me.
Looks like we are on the smooth ride home now. I am very happy to see that everything seems to be going perfectly and the pain that I have had is not unbearable. If I can take flying off of my dirtbike, getting cactus in my hand, and getting my leg stuck in between the tire and exhaust of my dirtbike I think I can handle having a baby. Not to mention that this will be a lot more rewarding in the end too.
