I'm scheduled for the c-section on 10/24/12 (39 weeks). Per my doctor's OK, I'm going to stop taking the contraction stopping Nifedipine pills next Monday. I'll be one day shy of 38 weeks. I can also be off bedrest, but I will most likely stay put to not over exert myself and keep baby cooking for a little longer.
My secret wish is to go to the newly opened Nordstrom Rack down the street from our place at the end of next week (38 weeks). Just for an hour at most. I'll see if hubby will let me. I just went into a store (Target) just now because I had to pee. We just came from doctor's office. That was the first time I've stepped foot inside a store since July 26. I caught a glimpse of clothes and accessories from far away as I left the restroom. I miss real physical shopping!!! It gets a bit tedious shopping online because you can't touch those things and get it on the spot. Though, I did enjoy the goodies I bought come to our front door weekly ;).
We've been blessed to have made it this far. From starting at 26 weeks to making it to 37 weeks of being PTL is awesome. I was terrified I wouldn't see it up the thirties. Mind over matter and following doctor's instructions seems to have helped.
