5 cm

So I went to my own doctor today. My weight stayed the same (thank goodness), and I dilated another centimeter, bringing me to 5 cm and 90% effaced. The doctor said, "You have got to be kidding me. You're still pregnant?" when she saw me in her exam room. She said, "I know I've told you this before, but just to reinforce...when you start getting contractions, do not wait. Call us en route."

He weighs 8 1/2 lbs.

At the end of the visit, she said, "Go into labor this week!"

"I'll try," I told her.

Some snuggly ducks for you (it's a blanket my sister sent):

Wouldn't it rock if you dilated all the way to 10 by your next appointment without feeling a thing?

"Hey, Bearette! Great news- you're fully dilated! Want to go ahead push the baby out now?"

"Er, let me just call my husband first."

(I would try very hard not to hate you. :)

Heh. I was wondering that myself. I assume by 6 cm I'll be able to feel something ;)

Doctor's orders? I hope you don't have performance anxiety with all these expectations.

Good grief! I thought for sure I was going to click on your blog today and find a baby photo... it feels like it has been ages since I last made my way over here. Wedding junk kept me busy the last bit.
When is lil E going to grace us with his presence?????
