Well, I didn't go into labor on Labor Day. :) We had a good weekend and got a lot accomplished. Bags are pretty much packed except for things we can't pack like make-up etc. We still need to get the bassinet set up in our room and find a side table for the chair and ottoman in the nursery.
Today was my 37 week appointment. More progress has been made. I'm now 2 cm dilated and 70% effaced. The doctor said I'm ready whenever Sydney's ready--but no one knows when. She could be early or late; only time will tell. The doctor also said that Sydney should be 7-7 1/2 pounds at birth and does not see any need for a c-section unless any complications arise. Other stats, my heart rate is hanging in there at 110/70 (yay! no preeclampsia so far) and Sydney's heart rate is still 150-160 bpm. Sydney has dropped even more since the last visit. The doctor also said Sydney has hair, so she won't be bald. To wrap it up we'll just have to wait and see what happens, but we're glad that progress is being made.
I've posted some pictures of the nursery and of the belly this past weekend. I feel like I'm bigger than what I appear in these pictures.
Again, continue to pray for us and pray for patience for me. Afternoons and evenings are hard for me. I'm getting so tired and uncomfortable these days and that's when I start to get impatient for her to get here. At least I know she'll be here in no more than 24 days.
