Well, we had a little more progress this week. We're up to 2-3 cm dilated and 70% effaced! Still head down, but in -2 station (not "dropped").
I saw Dr. Harden this time who said that if he were a betting man, he'd bet on the baby arriving "a day or two early," then promptly followed that up with, "Of course, I've been horribly wrong before!" Ha! Oh well, guess she'll just come on out when she's good and ready!
Dr. Harden estimates that Emma's current weight is about 6.0-6.5 lbs and he's guessing that she'll be in the "high 6's, low 7's" at birth. He also said, "She's a good size for your body, not too big, not too small." Ok-- weird compliment, but I'll take it...?
Emma's been moving like crazy for the past few nights for a good 2-3 hours straight-- I don't know what's gotten into her, but from about 8:00-10:00 pm she is constantly moving. She especially likes to do a fancy stretching move where I can literally feel her little hands pushing down and her feet pushing up. It's not the most pleasant feeling in the world, but it's worth it to know that she's healthy and moving around. I've been playing music for her at night while I fall asleep in bed (putting the headphones on my belly and playing lullaby renditions of the Beatles, Beach Boys, etc), and she seems to calm down with that.
Ok, that's the update for now! We'll keep you all posted on any action! Send some early labor dust this way!
