Well, Mike let the cat out of the bag but yes...My doctor has checked me out and I am 2-3 cm dilated and 70% effaced. I have been having some contractions which are nothing more then Braxton Hicks but they still hurt. It hasn't been anything serious that I can't walk through or talk through. Just some lower back/front pain and tightness in the uterus. I guess I watch too much Baby Story b/c I see woman in the hospital at 4 cm dilated and needing epidurals!
Other news.. our sons heartbeat sounded good. The nurse was using an instrument that didn't have the numbers displayed and she couldn't tell me his heartbeat. My blood pressure was higher then normal. 130/90 but we accounted for it b/c I was in a rush to get there and I have a lot of stress on my plate with the kick off of the new school year. I guess I should take it easy. I gained 1 lbs. in two weeks so I have gained 38 lbs. all together. We have an ultrasound scheduled for next Thursday. We'll check out his measurements and see if he is a whopper. She did say that he probably won't be as big as they thought he might end up being. I measured at 35 cm this week. I should be 36-37 cm but she said not to be alarmed b/c I can go 2 cm both ways so in essence I could be measuring at 38 cm (bigger) or 34 cm (smaller) without alarm. I think with all the moving and walking I have been doing this past two weeks I am keeping weight down and not gaining as much as I was.
Well, I am gonna try to keep this baby in for another 3 weeks and 2 days until his birthday but I'll tell ya what, if he comes now, I won't be upset. My classroom is ready, my substitute and I had a 2.5 hour meeting today and went over everything and I have my lesson plans completed until next Friday so if he comes, he comes. I just need to pack my hospital bag yet and then I am ready to go! I cant wait to see him and eat him up!
Love to all,
Mike, Stacey and SFC
