We had our ultrasound today to measure the baby's growth and everything is right on track. Once again the baby would not cooperate with us in getting a face shot. He/She kept putting their hand in the way, so we didn't get any good pictures. Oh, well, it turns out we will be seeing this baby probably sooner rather than later.
I am dialated to 1cm, which can mean nothing, but the baby is also very low and I am 80% effaced. That means that my lining is 80% thinned out already. Our midwife is hoping that I can go at least two more weeks, which would get me to 37 weeks. So, I've got to take it easy as much as I can. I am excited! 5 weeks seemed so far away, but maybe now it won't be quite that long.
I would appreciate your prayers that this baby is not born a day sooner than it should be. I think that I will pack my bags in the next couple of days just to get that off of my list!
Oh, and we also got an important tip from the midwife -- no sex -- as semen will stimulate contractions! That was an embarrassing moment for my husband. He is so cute!
