baby update - 38 weeks, 1 day

as of last week, i was 2cm dilated and 80% effaced. but, people, please don't get excited or think a baby is coming. caroline did the same thing to me and then chose to arrive an entire week late, which would mean 3 more weeks of cooking this baby :) i'm totally fine with whatever. i mean, what can i really do about it? it will happen when it happens. the dr said the head is right there, and i mean right there, ready to come out. again, the same as caroline. my babies like to hang out really low. i'm at the point where baby movement hurts...those little parts visibly stick far out and make me cringe until he/she settles down. the guesses on the sex seem to be well in favor of boy as was the case with caroline. walmart seems to be the place people freely give their opinions on the matter. i've had no less than 8 people venture a guess the past 2 or 3 times i've been there. they look at my belly, nod and say with conviction "it's a boy, honey". well, you've got a 50% chance so guess away :) i go back to the dr on wed so i'll let you know what's happening then...in the meantime, pray for the health and safety of the baby, a smooth labor and delivery and for my sweet girl caroline as she jumps into the big sis role very soon. i want her to feel just as special and loved as always!
