39 Week Doctor Appointment

This morning we went to my 39 week doctor appointment... 2 weeks after I went into early labor.

I am still only 1 cm dilated and 70% effaced. Good news is that I am dilated and thinning, but the bad news is I have been that way for two weeks. Hopefully this little man will make his move soon!! The doctor said that they will induce labor if I go a week over, there is no medical benefit of him staying in any longer. So if he doesn't come this week .. or next week, then we will definitely have him the week after, if not late next week.

I weigh 157lbs. Makes my total weight gain exactly 30lbs. I hear that many women start to loose weight in their latter weeks but not me!! Mini man just keeps on putting on the pounds!! We are looking at quite the little porker coming to greet us within these next few weeks!

We were hoping to have him by Superbowl Sunday because the Andrews family always has a little Superbowl party with close friends and we were hoping to show him off there, but the way things are looking we might be getting him around that day (by induction.)

We are so anxious and we can honestly taste it!! He is so close!!

My uterus continues to grow, and is predictably 39 cm.

My happy little baby has a very happy little heartbeat as always and he looks and sounds very healthy!

We have a doctor appointment next Monday ( a day after my due date) and hopefully we wont make it to that one!! Or at least we hope it will be our last one!!

Come soon baby boy, we are DYING to meet you!!!!
