Last Thursday, a sonogram showed that our little guy was about 6 pounds and in the shape of a C inside of me. (How appropriate!) His head is down low, his back is along my left side, and his legs are stretched out across my ribs on the right. I'd post the sonogram pic, but all you see is a little crushed skeletal face, so it's not worth it honestly. The sonogram tech asked me if I felt lots of pain and pressure under my ribs, and I told her yes thinking it was just a normal pregnancy thing. Apparently he is abnormally squished under my ribs which now makes sense why I feel all of that...it was kind of nice to hear that my complaining about that was justified! :)
The doctor did confirm that things are still progressing...no more dilation this week, but we are definitely more effaced and baby's head is lower than last week. Things are moving in the right direction, so we are basically in the "any day now" mode! Bags are packed, baby stuff is assembled, clothes are washed, fridge is stocked, and I leave my desk every day in a shape where my sub could figure out what's going on relatively easily...we are just waiting for the go from the little man! (And in the meantime, I am trying every trick in the book to get things going! Long walks, gym, spicy food, bouncing on an exercise ball...I'm not above trying anything except drinking castor oil or eating weird herbs. Ick.)
Well, that's all for now! Hopefully my next post will be the birth story...I am SO ready for this little guy to be out from inside of me and at home in our arms!
