Okay everyone....we went to the doctor today and we have good news! I have begun to dilate some on my own! I am 1 cm dilated and 75% effaced (which means my cervical length has shortened alot). Her heart rate was in the 130's and everything looked great! Since she measured in the 67th percentile last time, little chunker, Dr. Max is okay if I go into labor now! I have had some pretty good contractions, sometimes regular but nothing that lasts more than about an hour. She feels alot lower now, too. So maybe soon.....but things could also stay this way for little while. She'll show up when she's good and ready. We head back next Monday for another check up, so we'll see!
I had another shower this last weekend that my friends Jennifer and Meg threw for me. It was soooo nice! Thank you girls! We got some great gifts and the food was awesome! I have included some pictures.....
Here's what's going on this week: Aubrey is gaining about an ounce a day. She now weighs almost 6 pounds (like a crenshaw melon) and is more than 18 1/2 inches long. She's shedding most of the downy hair that covered her body, as well as the vernix caseosa, the waxy substance that protected her skin during her nine-month amniotic bath. Next week, she will be considered full-term. Have a great week!
