I had another OB appt this week and the doctor found that nothing had changed since two weeks ago. Since I am more than 35 weeks along and the baby is a healthy size, he said I could get off the sofa and begin moving around again. Thanks so much for your prayers.

That evening, I went to Costco with the entire family to catch up on grocery shopping while having the help of dh and kids to lift things and unload stuff when we returned. I had so many contractions that I could hardly walk and began to think I would deliver my baby right then and there!    So I think I'll still be limiting my activities during the next few weeks. And I don't intend to do Costco on my own until the baby is born and at least a month old.

Good news, Irene! NO 35 week pg woman should do Costco on her own! ....but, I can't blame you, shopping in peace and quiet   

Blessings on the rest of your pregnancy!

Irene -- I don't like Costco shopping even when I'm NOT pregnant. What a nut you are to have done that..... .

Glad to hear all is progressing well and that you'll soon be holding the bundle of joy....

Prayers coming your way....

Great news, but I'm with Mary G. Costco wears me out no matter how healthy I am.

Continued prayers!

All right Irene -

get up and do a happy dance; then wash the kitchen
floor and you should be good to go

Praying for a safe and healthy delivery for you.

Peace,
Nancy

I really should read through the thread before I respond.

The happy dance is a good idea....
