38 weeks Pregnant update!!!

[TinasHope]

Well Today was my 38 week appt. I thought for sure I was dialating. Dr said I am still closed up. I have been in so much pain and been so miserable. I get the Braxton Hicks which Dr said I should just call them contractions at this point. I get the cramping and the tightening in my stomach and back pain. I feel like the baby is pushing down on the right side of my pubic bone. Sometimes when I get up to walk to go potty I feel so much pressure its hard to walk and then I start walking like an old lady. My C-section is still set for Jan 20th (Inauguration Day)and since we are in the Virginia area and my hospital is in Bethesda,MD close to Washington DC area and I am having my baby at the "President Hospital" we are worried about the traffic that day. So we asked if we can stay the night there if they had any rooms the night before since we have to be there the day before anyways for bloodwork. My Dr said no problem. Well, We wanted to make sure and my DH wanted to go to L&D to check with them and they said they can't promise me anything which I can understand. They never know how crowed they are going to be.Anyways we will be there on the19th at the end of the day and bring my bags just in case they have room for me if not we will have to leave our house very early morning probably 2am. I am just hoping they have the room. The only thing is that our Son who is 16 years old we want him there. We are trying to figure out the details there.
I know I can make my c-section for another day but I am so ready to have her. I don't want to wait any longer. I know some of you can understand.
I can't believe next Tuesday around this time I will be holding my baby girl. I am just so ready and so anxious. I am nervous I just want everything to go as planned. I am the biggest worrywart. I have alot of anxieity. I am hoping I can do some yoga this week and do some deep breathing and relaxtion.
I will be updating when I can.
