36 Week Appointment and DH Update
22
Mon, 12-03-2007 - 3:21pm

Just got back from my 36 week appointment. I had my GBS test and she did an internal-I am only about a fingertip dilated and my cervix is still long. Ugh-I was hoping to be a little further than that with all the BHCs that I have been having for 3 weeks! She said that if I haven't given birth by the 18th (38 weeks 1 day) she will strip my membranes. So hopefully in a little over 2 weeks I will have Caitlin in my arms! I hope so!

As for things with DH...they are going great! It was touch and go there for a while. I am still in counseling by myself and he's still on the Lexapro and his script is up in 2 weeks. 3 night ago he came home with flowers, apologized for being so awful the last 2 months, and held me for a really long time. The next night he came home with MORE flowers! He has put his wedding ring back on and has been rubbing my back and feet at night, and being very attentive. Also, lots of text messages and phone calls when he's a work just to say he loves me. He has been much better with Madeline and not losing his temper so much with her. I am cautiously optimistic about this whole turn around. I know things don't just turn around over night, especially since he's on the wrong meds...but it's nice to have the old Jim back-the Jim that I married. I knew I wasn't that dumb to marry a guy that would ever treat me like that! So hopefully, we are on the up and up here and we don't see another outburst or relapse.

HUGS AND BELLY RUBS TO ALL! :)

Meagan:


How great to see this wonderful update from you. I hope things continue to go this way and am glad to hear of this great progress. Hang in there!


I'm 36 weeks too and had the GBS at my appointment last week but they didn't check me yet. I would love to have this baby before Christmas but we'll have to wait and see. You are in OC right? I'm in North OC.
