I'm still pregnant

Yep, I'm still pregnant. I had a doctor's apt. Tuesday and he asked if I wanted to be checked and I decided not to be. When I was pregnant with Wesley, I went to my 39week apt. and was 3 cm dilated. So, the doctor at the time "stripped my membranes" to help bring on labor, which was very painful! I had him the next morning, so it must have worked. You have to be at least 2 or 3 cm. dilated for them to do this and also, this doctor won't do it until your at least 39 weeks, so I thought it was pointless for him to check me. My next apt. is monday and I will be checked then. I had Wesley 5 days before my due date. I guess we'll see if it happens the same way this time. I think I'll just cry if the doctor tells me I'm not dilated any, b/c then I'll have to wait a whole entire week. I don't think my stomach can stretch any more. I'm a planner and I hate the waiting game and not knowing when it may happen. That's one good thing about women who have c-sections, is that they know when it will happen, and can plan around that.

I'm getting more out of breath now when I walk. Like this morning, I had to keep sitting down and resting. But, it did get better throughout the day. I'm also pretty tired, even though I get enough sleep during the night(I do get up like every 2 hrs. to go to the bathroom). It's like its going back to how I felt the 1st trimester with being so tired. At least my big toe isn't hurting like Mark, then I'de really be in pain, right Mark?:)
