39 Week Doctor Appt.

Today I had my 39 week doctor's appt. We had great news...I am 80% effaced and 2 cm dilated! I was so happy that I am progressing. The doctor said that she thinks that I will go within the next week. That is so encouraging! She also pushed my cervix to help move things move along a little bit. Everything else was good too. My urine didn't have any glucose or protein and my BP was 122/70 with a HR of 72. The baby's HR was 144 which is consistent with what he has been. The doctor also said that she thinks he weighs between 7 and 7.5 lbs.

Last night I started having contractions and they have been happening throughout the day. My mom thinks that it may be the start of labor because that is how her labor started out. We will soon see. I can't wait to meet our little boy! Andy and I are so excited! My next doctor's appt is next Monday and hopefully I won't make it until then. Andy is predicting that I will have the baby tomorrow and Roxanne thinks I will have him on Thursday. I guess we will find out soon!
