37 Weeks

And the false labor continues. I got more sleep last night than I did the night before, but still not a lot. I kept having this dream that the house was flooding (maybe because there was a monsoon going on outside) and waking up with contractions.
And apparently these contractions are not promoting any progress. I'm still just barely 1 cm dilated. Big sad face.
The ultrasound went well. Monkey is measuring a little behind schedule at about 6 lbs. Which puts her in the 38th percentile. So WHEW! Thank you sweet baby jesus I won't be giving birth to a gorilla. I also have "plenty of amniotic fluid" and Monkey is definitely head down. The tech was able to get a good face shot so she's not descended too far down into my pelvis (another sad face). And she looks to have some cutie pie chipmunk cheeks. Here's a picture:I'm bouncing vigorously on my yoga ball in hopes of getting her head down on my cervix and I've been trying to lengthen my stride and not waddle everywhere...which is DIFFICULT!

I am feeling the same way you are at the moment and getting the same pre labour/false labour symptoms.

We are nearly there which is comforting but it still seems like its never going to happen.
