So lately I have been really bad at posting and I have a million good excuses, of which the main one is that I’m not overly keen to sit in front of a computer at any point right now ;).
But here is a quick update for everyone…
I am one day shy of 37 weeks, which is considered full term: woo hoo! The baby should now be around 19 inches long (48.26 cm) and a little over 6 lbs (2.7 kg). Apparently it is the size of a winter squash. Last week it was a honeydew melon and next week is it a pumpkin. I am starting to think the fruit comparisons are no longer helpful as I have never seen a winter squash and have seen a lot of different sized pumpkins!
I now have a doctor’s appointment every
week to see how I am progressing. At 36 weeks I was 1
cm dilated and the baby head was "very low". As of today, I
am now 1-2 cms dilated and 80-90% effaced. What this means is
that I could have this baby any day, but it I could still make it to my due
date, so now it is just a waiting game – so much for modern day medicine being
able to predict stuff! To be honest I don't really have the patience anymore
and I hope this baby comes sooner rather than later. I know Cookie-D's
mom and dad are both very excited to meet him/her and I can't wait to know the
sex of the baby and give it a name!
Oh, and we also found ourselves a new addition to our garden... Sammy the Snake (not the one from Phoenix Nights)
