We went to the doc this morning and was told there is very lil progress. Went from 2 cm to 2.5 cm. Not what mom wanted to hear but dad was pretty excited. I hoped after the horrible on and off cramps, back aches, stronger Braxton Hicks I had over the weekend that there might have been a lil more news. He mentioned that with the progress I have made that the labor should not be too long (definitely not getting too excited by that comment bc everybody is different although I do hope he is right.) He also said due to progress they do not want me to go a week past my due date but will discuss next Monday when (IF) we go back. The baby for once was not as active this appointment, probably a lil tired after keeping mom up all night, that his/her heartbeat was 125.
So for now we continue to do what we have been doing . . .wait and say our prayers! :)
39 weeks pregnant!
According to babycenter.com
Your baby's waiting to greet the world! He continues to build a layer of fat to help control his body temperature after birth, but it's likely he already measures about 20 inches and weighs a bit over 7 pounds, a mini watermelon. (Boys tend to be slightly heavier than girls.) The outer layers of his skin are sloughing off as new skin forms underneath.
woo hoo!!!! can't wait to meet him/her!!!
