39 wk pic and appt update

{{7 days to go.}}


yesterday was my 39 wk appointment.

i opted to have the internal exam done so at least i would have two points (since i'll likely still be pregnant at my 40 wk appointment and have another internal done then).

yesterday's results:

75% effaced

fingertip dilated

he's head down, his face on my backbone (yay!) and at the -1 station (i'm not sure if that's how you say it, but you get the picture).

i saw a midwife that i'd seen one other time before. she was alright--she has a funny accent--and i got the privilege of hearing her tear the lady in the room next to me a new one for gaining 10 lbs in 2 weeks but i digress...

this particular midwife seems to think that carter will be a "good size baby". her guess is 8 lbs (and change maybe)--which is news to me/us since the last i'd heard (from a different midwife--my favorite midwife in the practice actually) was that carter would be in the high 6s to mid 7s. so basically it's a waiting game and no one has an effin' clue 'til he actually comes out and gets weighed. :)

we'll just have to wait and see...
