Almost there

39 weeks and we are almost there. I had my checkup today and things are progressing as they should. They told us we could induce at any point. So now we are faced with all kinds of crazy "about to be parents" decisions.  The biggest factor right now is that I had a melanoma removed from my leg this morning. Going in to it I thought it would be a small cut (I had a pre-cancerous spot removed last year and it was easy). I was wrong. Very wrong. I now have a 3 inch incision on my leg at the bottom of my calf.  This means that I cannot move around. Everytime I stand up the incision bleeds a little. I need this to be healed shut before labor if at all possible so thay I can stay mobile during labor. So I have put myself on bed rest for the next 3 days in am attempt to aid in the healing.
