Well I just got back from today's weekly visit and I am thrilled to announce there has been progress! I am now 2 cm dilated and 50% effaced. Yeah! I am thrilled to hear my cervix is half way done thinning out. The dr. basically said "Ok, be sure your bags are packed TODAY- just in case!" That was fun to hear. I know it could still be another week or more even, but I am hopeful that my body is preparing for an early delivery....... like maybe this weekend! :) The dr. also said the babies head is very low now which is a change from last week too. How exciting that we are this close!
On Sunday, we met R, S and Baby B for lunch for a get together before the baby arrives. It was so nice to spend time with them again! We know it will be awhile before we can get together again since they are about to become EXTREMELY busy with 2 babies under 1. I am really glad that we had Sunday to visit though. The names are still up in the air for the baby but I think it is narrowed down to 2 or 3 options. We'll see what they choose once they see his face and hairy head! :) Just kidding- although I am convinced this baby will have a full head of hair with all the heartburn I have been getting daily.
My mom is back in town tomorrow night sometime so hopefully delivery will hold off until Thursday at the earliest. Also, my oldest son Carson is home sick with an ear infection today so I really don't want to go into labor until he is feeling better. Sick kids need their mommy's so I want to be here with him!
My next dr. appointment is not until Thursday, 5/7 because the dr's are not in next Tuesday. (Which I am sure means that will be the day we will go into labor!) I am very hopeful we won't make it to that appointment! Fingers crossed.
