So I went to the doctor last Thursday and was told that my cervix had dropped tremendously in one week. I was like "okay, but that's it!!" They scheduled me to come back today, Tuesday, and I was somewhat torked off thinking "they really think something is going to change for me in only five days...right!" Well, actually it did. Over the weekend, because it was so darn nice, I was out walking, walking, walking. I started feeling some weird tingly something or another, but like I know what the hell a contraction is. Apparently I am having them because I finally am dilated...only a one, but hey better than none at all, right?! The doctor asked me if I had any concerns and I said no, but then changed my mind and decided I might as well tell her my largest concern: babies weight!!! All along I have dreamed of delivering a six pound baby. Why you may wonder...not sure, but just had this number in my head! I explained to her I was scared I had a giant on my hands. Is this baby going to come out with a head full of hair, a full vocabulary, and ready to literally walk out of the hospital?? She scheduled an ultrasound to check the weight because she was now guessing baby to be about eight pounds. Unfortunately for me she was only one ounce off! According to the ultrasound the baby is seven pounds and 15 ounces! So imagine me, dreaming of a six pound baby, hearing this news! I was about in tears. "You will have a healthy baby she says!" Oh that is music to my ears, no really it is, but does she realize I have three weeks left to my due date...and at a 1/2 a pound a week....we are talking a nine or nine and 1/2 pound baby. So I do want my baby to be healthy, but I also want to be able to deliver naturally too and what about me and the pain (okay maybe I am being selfish--suck it up sarah!!)
Well I go back next Wednesday and we can only hope things progress quickly and I don't carry this poor baby around to grow a whole lot longer, but I'm all about nature taking it's course so whenever it decides to come is fine. I guess I am trying to convince myself that I am READY so baby can come out whenever it feels like it....
Hopefully I have exciting news to post soon. However, time will only tell!!!!!
