now or never

If I don't get these 36 week belly shots up now, I may never...last week's appointment went well and we got to schedule my induction for the 19th!  I wasn't even a 1/2cm dilated, but it was better than absolutely nothing!   And today?  I was "a good 2cm!!"  What?!  It took me from 36-40 weeks to get there with Ace, so I'm pretty pumped about the progress!  I would love to not have to wait to be induced!
 here's a nice between 36/37 pic. I def look bigger in person, and yes, I'm starting to tip a little when I walk, hah!
aside from being blindsided(literally) by a migraine Friday evening(freaky, I was losing my vision, but thankfully the vision part didn't last long) that lasted for about 4 days(totally unrelated to bp - mine's great and low - probably an end of pregnancy hormone drop), and the pain(no joke, but absolutely worth it, and almost over!) from being stretched and contracting and just being bigger than my 5'4" frame is comfy with, I'm really feeling good!  The change in the weather has made a HUGE difference in how I feel!  Hooray for no more(knock on wood!) swelling!  Well, at least not any heat-related swelling, hah!
So, I'm hanging out at 42lbs gained and trying to get things done...like get warm clothes out and into closets for my other boys and, I dunno, maybe pack a bag and get this kiddo a place to sleep?!
