I had my check up today. Baby is down really low, and very effaced. My cervix is very soft and starting to dialate! YAY! She said maybe in the next week, but she doesn't see me going past 2 weeks. Thank goodness.

I had gained more weight and the baby is estimated to be about 7 1/2 pounds right now. (the margin of error in their estimates is a pound either way.) She said I have a pretty decent sized baby, who seems to be growing very well.

She thinks if I can get a lot of good strong contractions going, I will dialte quickly. My body is showing signs its coming soon! That is great news.

Hold off till I get to Minnesota on the 29th! I absolutely adore babies! Congratulations...and I hope you got that breast pump replaced.

Yay! She's not going to be too long now, Joey! Sometimes a pelvic exam can set you off into labor...that's what happened with my friend. She had the exam, and 8 hours later her daughter was born!

Lets just hope I don't go two more weeks with her gaining a pound a week. I really don't want to have a ten pound baby OUCH!!!

I ordered a brand new pump, since the parts that needed to be replaced cost more than the pump itself. (How does that work?)

Shouldn't be long now.  They can be so very off with the weight of the baby.  They told me that my baby was going to be over 8lbs.  She ended up being 6.5 pounds (a big difference....)

Good to hear all is going well!

Oh hell yeah they can. Davey was supposed to be a 7 and a half pounder. Yeah right....he was 9lbs.
