39 Weeks
News Flash: I’m due to have a baby one week from today! Can you believe it?! And at yesterdays doctor appointment there was actually some pre-labor progress! It kinda freaked me out, I was so used to nothing happening and all of a sudden things are in motion and having a baby is like a reality – mixed feelings about that to be honest…are we really ready for this?Andy’s not sure if he’s ready to share the couch!
So the pre-labor progress is that I am 50% effaced. For those of you who don’t speak pregnancy, effacement is the thinning of the cervix as the baby moves lower into the birth canal. That’s pretty much all I know…it doesn’t create a specific timeline for labor to really begin, it could be tomorrow or weeks from now. So it’s still a waiting game.
My mom left today but it was SO nice to have her around! She made amazing meals and snacks and it was really nice to kick my feet up at the end of the day while she took care of things. And for the record, the tatertot casserole was AMAZING!
Now we have a new guest hoping that Lillian will make her arrival during their visit. Nicole has a work conference over the next few days and she is quite hopeful that she is the labor good luck charm! Still have a few things to finish up in the nursery this weekend. It’s supposed to get pretty hot here in Cincy – the swelling will likely get out of control! Speaking of the swell, I leave you with a picture of my 39 week belly shot and my sausage feet! Sweet.
