I'm 136 pounds and baby can't be too much longer before making it's grand entrance. It's just trying to get everyone pepped up and excited and I believe it's succeeding!
I had my 40 week appointment this morning and everything looks great. I'm dilated to a 5, 75% effaced, and the baby is still at a +1 station. It's gotten into a little better position, with it's back more in line with my abdomen. I asked her for a guess on it's size and she said around 7.5. (Clara's ob guessed 7 or a little over and she was 7 lb., 3 oz., so we'll see if Melanie's as good a guesser.) She would've swept my membranes, but said it probably would've put me into labor at this point and since I had Clara with me, Chris not with me, and a dirty house we opted not to go that route.
She doesn't think I have too much longer, but I have an appointment on Tuesday morning and we'll be ready and more aggressive if I have to actually keep that appointment. I'm GBS positive, so she called in an oral antibiotic for me to start taking right now.
This is actually happening it seems. Chris' mom went ahead and got a flight after getting the news this am and should be here soon! I'm so glad she'll get to be here for the birth. I'm just so excited, I'm having a hard time thinking right now, so I guess that's all for now. I need to go clean something!
Oh, and you guys were soooo much help with the guessing the gender thing. I could've saved us all time and just flipped a coin. Thanks :)
