We had another doctor's appointment today, perhaps you felt her poking around? We've made some progress this week, but I've come to realize it doesn't mean anything in terms of a "date and time". So here's where we are at: I am 80% thinned out of a possible 100%, your head is on my pelvis bone (which I didn't need the doc to tell me, I've known this for a few days now), and I am still dialated about 1.5cm. What does this mean? Last week I was at about 10% thinned, and all of these small contractions and cramping feelings ARE being productive. I am to start to watch for show, a water break, or strong and regular contractions. You could be days away or a week or so yet.
Yesterday I started a fun game of, "Guess when baby is coming". It's funny that no one has chosen the actual due date yet, but 5% of births actually occur on the due date. It is becoming more fun for me to look at people's guesses and look forward to that day than counting down from the due date.
We have been experiencing great weather here in early March, and though snow is in the forecast for tonight/early tomorrow, Saturday looks to be gorgeous and I am planning on taking a walk out at Garden of the Gods to see if we can make something happen. I will probably just end up utterly exhausted and sleep for the rest of the day, but just for giggles we'll see.
