BP Update

I had a doctor's appointment yesterday (hopefully only a few more left!!).  I am up 1 lb so my total weight gain is 28 lbs.  I put on 29 with Gwen so I am right on track with where I wanted to be.  I started out 5 lbs heavier than I would like, so I may have a bit of a challenge to drop the weight this time. 

I am 1 cm dilated and 50% effaced.  The head is down but moves when poked (I would move when poked too).  I am measuring 38 weeks and the doctor felt my stomach and said "wow, that's a good sized baby in there".................awesome.

She estimates that with a 6 hour labor the first time, this one should be around 4ish and that most 2nd babies are born around the same time as the first, so a smidge early.  I'll be ready (my hospital bag is packed and everything is ready to go at the house, so I guess I am prepared).  I just hope he/she comes when my parents are here.  That was the biggest thing missing with Gwen's birth.  I would have loved to have my parents there. 

More to come..............hopefully a baby to come!!

PS.  Gwen has told me that she wants the baby to come out of my belly.  I am right there with her.
