More Baby Updates

Well, I have officially made it further in this pregnancy than I have in my other two pregnancies, so I thought I would give another update. I always felt I would be more bugged about going longer, but I'm actually okay about it and doing quite well.  I had ANOTHER appt yesterday. The good news is that the baby is doing quite well also. We were a little concerned earlier because my amniotic fluid levels were low last week (at 10 cm) and then dropped even lower at the beginning of this week (down to 8 cm). But they are now back up (to 10 cm), so that is good.  

Just FYI: Normal is between 5-25 cm. Dangerously low is under 5. Borderline is 5-10.

I'm dilated to almost 3 cm and a little over 50% effaced. My doctor flies out early next Saturday morning for a week long vacation (which bumps up right to my actual due date of the 5th), so if little one doesn't come before next Thursday, she is going to induce me that day.

Oh and according to the ultrasound measurements, which aren't completely exact, he's about 6 1/2 pounds right now. So he should be a good 7 pounds or more by the time he's born. I'm definitely excited, but trying to enjoy my last few days with just my girls. I'll keep everyone updated if things change.
