Baby Update

Its been a while since I updated on my pregnancy, so I thought I might as well do it now. -grin-

At my last ultrasound they said the baby was 6 pounds 8 ozs and that he could reacy 8 pounds easily by my due date.

The past month I've FINALLY started gaining some weight. Or I suppose the baby is gaining the weight, I'm just carrying him.

Had some bad tummy hurts the past 3 days, and a doctors visit today.

He said that the tummy hurts, even though they are at the top of my tummy, are contractions. He said its my muscles pulling tight, and it goes all the way down even if I'm not feeling it as bad.

He said my cervix has thinned and softened, but still not dilated at all. He is now saying my due date is the 18th (he had been saying the 20th) and that if I've not started dilating by the 16th or 17th he might put me in the hospital and get the ball rolling.

Almost there!

Oh Winona, such an exciting time for you. To bring a little baby into your life and love him. I am excited just reading this. Enjoy your little one while he is a baby, it goes so fast. When I see pics of my boys as babies, even the little outfit that my youngest came home in, it get sad. They just grow way to fast.

OMG good luck! Sounds like the baby wants to start its way out. That is so exciting. I was going through labor at home and didn't know it. Even if your water doesn't break (mine had to be broken at the hospital), and you start to get pain and you get your bloody show, go go gooooo. My doctor saw that I got my show and still said, see you in a day or so. Oh, I should've insisted on staying there. I was in soooo much pain for 3 days and then I went for my doctors visit and they said "you're at 5 cm, go across the street". I had no chance to get my luggage or anything. 13 hours later the baby was here.

Good luck.
