As of my appointment last Thursday, I am 1 cm dilated, o% effaced, and my cervix is "softer", whatever that means. The midwife I saw last week seems to think that I won't see April and that James will make his debut sometime in March, me, I am not banking on it. He's dues April 3rd, so it's not like it will be some life-changing thing if he comes only 3 days earlier, but a week, now that would be good!
As of today's appointment, She didn't check any progress, but guesstimated that he will be atleast 20" long, by the outline of his body in my tummy and 7-8 pounds. A good healthy baby. His heartbeat sounded great, altho he was bouncing around so much in there that it was hard to follow at times! It's a good that's he's so active admist all of the braxton hicks that are going on. I AM THANKFUL!!
