Last appointment..........maybe

We started out late for our appointment due to getting stuck in our drive way. Poor Sean (with his broken ankle) had to shovel snow for a good half hour before we could get out... then when we finally got out... he had to shovel a different drive way to get up it and to our gate.... Yes, we are expecting more snow this week on top of the foot that we already have.

Appointment went well.... Marlene thinks the baby is about 8 lbs. 4 oz and Kaleem says she always right.. maybe an once off... So if it's born this week it wont be as big as Colton but if I go another week or two it will probably be another 9 pounder.. since they gain a half pound a week at the end. The heart beat was 148 and I'm measuring 37 cm. Last week I was dialated to 1 cm but they didn't check me yesterday as I just didn't want to know... they said it doesn't mean anything anyway.. if I was dialated to 3 I could stay there for a couple weeks or I could still go into labor at any minute. She did say the baby was defenetly dropped even more than last week. So, Lacey get's here tomorrow and I'm hoping the baby comes after she gets here this week end or next week sometime... as long as she is still here. I just don't want her to miss it when she'll only be here for 8 days and coming all the way from Nashville. Can't wait.

no baby yet

Well, no baby yet... but I still have at least a week until my due date which isn't even a for sure date... But I had an appointment with my midwife yesterday. Her and my doula both came up to our house to see where we live and check things out. I'm dialated 1 cm and 40% effaced and measuring 36 cm. They think it will be at least a week to 10 days from now. We'll see if they are right I guess. They are also bringing a birthing tub for me to try and have a waterbirth. That may sound gross to some but heck, if it make's me more comfortable I don't care! She also guessed that the baby is about 7 1/2 pounds right now......so, as long as I don't go a week over it might weight less than Colton. Even if it is over 9 lbs she thinks it will be faster than Colton and that I'll do fine, since I did it once already! So, I'm not too worried either. Lacey will be here on the 25th if I haven't had it by then.. otherwise she'll come before then. Ashlee is coming the 31st along with my cousin Danielle. They are planning a ski trip for the 1st, so I'm hoping I at least have the baby before then! I'll keep ya'll posted!
