Do you have a birth plan? If so, share it here. How "married" are you to this plan?

How far along today? How big is baby?
37 weeks!  She was 5 lbs 5 oz a couple of weeks ago so I am guessing about 6.5 lbs?

New/Interesting/Festering Symptoms
Just tired all the time.  Big movements (like it looks like an alien moving around in there), today I have a headache but it feels allergy related and hopefully it is.  Have managed to keep the swelling at bay this pregnancy (yay!) but I cannot stop eating sugar.  I am pretty sure I could eat nothing but cherries, watermelon, and chocolate/candy for the rest of this pregnancy and be fine.  Ugh. 

Appointments/US this week
I have my first internal/cervical check next Monday!

Random Questions
None that I can think of

Rants/Raves
I have a little bit of anxiety this week because my son was born at 37+5.  I am really hoping to keep this baby in there until really close to her due date (so she can grow as long as she can, and also because my work implements a new parental leave policy on July 1st and if I have her before then, I won't be eligible  )

Do you have a birth plan? If so, share it here. How "married" are you to this plan?
My tentative plan is to have a successful VBAC.  My dr thinks I am great candidate for it, and so far baby looks good to try it.  I am not married to it though.  At the end of the day, the most important thing is to ensure her safety and mine, and I wouldn't risk either of those for a desire of mine.
