whole lotta nothin…
Leigh says I am killing her by not giving any updates. But there’s not so much to tell.
I did see my midwife today, and I am about 1 cm dilated and 40% effaced. She asked if I wanted her to "semi-sweep my membranes". I declined, reasoning that if I have dilated painlessly thus far, that I’d like to keep that up a little longer
. However, the baby is now estimated at 8 lbs. so I’m thinking that if I make it to next week’s appointment (without going into labor prior to that), I’ll probably take her up on it.
So, that’s pretty much it. Now it’s all just hurry up and wait…
Thank you, thank you. Yes, you were killin’ me.
I don’t expect hour by hour updates (tee hee), but hey…this was perfect! Enjoy these last few hours/days with your husband. It is such a sweet and sacred time. Your calm and trusting demeanor now will influence your entire labor and birth. And how stunning it will be.
Thanks for indulging me.
XOXO
