36 week appointment
I had the first of my weekly appointments today and it was very exciting!! I am 70% effaced and at a -1. The doctor felt the head and said the baby has definitely dropped and we are ready to go! He did say this doesn't necessarily mean I will delivery early but he wouldn't be surprised if I did. Luckily - the furniture is supposed to be shipped Wed so hopefully next week sometime we can finish the nursery (finally!). We got the car seat installed over the weekend and I am now a pro at installing it in all positions. =) He thinks the baby is about 6.5 lbs right now and thinks he will be on the bigger side which does not excite me in the least. Oh well - I know that these estimates are rarely accurate. Next appointment is Monday and hopefully there will be some progress! I'll keep you posted.

Don't be scared. Andrew was 7 lbs 14 oz at 36 weeks when I delivered at 37 weeks he was 8 lbs 2 oz and 22 1/2 inches long. If I can do it anyone can! I am so happy for you! This is such an exciting time. Sleep as much as you can! Angelica
ReplyDeleteAgain no need to be scared. We are excited for you Erin and family on this end. Take Solace in the fact that somehow women everywhere have been doing this for centuries without the aid of modern technologies......It's a natural and beautifully empowering experience. You will do great. btw Zachary was nearly 22 inches and 10 lbs. 4.4 ounces at birth. He was instantly named "Baby Gigantor"---his now super hero name and looked like we unclothed a 3 month old from outside and brought him in the nursery......Keep in my this is YOUR birth experience and be empowered to have it go exactly how YOU want it to. Very Exciting! Jen, Jeff, and Zachary Christie!
