Little update...

Just a little update today...

We went to the doctor and I am almost 2 cm dilated. So...he said if I don't go into labor on my own that I have an appointment on Monday at 7am to be induced!

So the wait is on!!

No baby yet...

We're in week 39!

We have a doctor appointment on Thursday, so we'll see what he says about how I'm progressing.

As far as baby goes...

*Lanugo has mostly disappeared

*Lungs are maturing

*She doesn't have much room to move around in there now!

*Her body continues to lay on fat stores that will help regulate her temperature after birth.

*Average weight is 7.25 pounds and length is 19.9 inches (somehow I think this baby will be above average in at least the weight, but we'll see!!)

Good doctor appointment...

We had a good doctor appointment today.  He said I am making progress and am 80% effaced and 1 cm dilated.  He said that I could go any time.  I made another appointment for next week, but he said we could go any time.  So...we'll see!

Week 38!

We're in week 38...it won't be long now!

We have a doctor appointment on Thursday, so we'll see what he has to say and if we've made any progress!

Here's what's going on with the baby:

*The average baby (which I think our baby is probably a bit bigger than this...) is 6.8 pounds and 19.6 inches long

*She may have a full head of hair now

*Circumference of head and abdomen are about the same size!

Dr. Appointment...

We had our doctor appointment today.  It went well.  He said the baby is looking good.  He did an exam and said I am about 60% effaced and a fingertip dilated.  So, we are making progress!  

He also said that he would like to see me have the baby by the 14th, but would not let me go past my due date of the 18th.  So...we have between 12 and 16 days and the baby will be here!  Crazy!!

Baby's room...

Here's a little snippet of the paint for the baby's room...and part of the crib, which is now put together! :)
