A Possibly TMI Pregnancy Post



I had my 36 week appointment Tuesday. I am 1cm and 60% effaced. The doctor said I probably wouldn't efface much more if any until I go into labor though because this is my second baby. She said normally with consecutive children if you efface all the way or more than 80% the relaxed muscles and baby pressure will go ahead and start labor. Baby is head down and engaged. Meaning he is stuck in my pelvis now and will not be moving from there until he comes out. She said she could feel his head bones and tried to push him off my cervix but couldn't budge him which means he is no longer floating. So that's all good. She said I definitely would have him this week but beyond that she obviously couldn't say. Before she checked me she said she didn't think he would be bigger than 8lbs but then after she checked me she said he would definitely be over 8lbs she just didn't know by how much. She thinks my optimistic guess of being between 8lbs 6oz and 9lbs 4oz is a much more accurate guess at what he'll weigh. So it's nice that there is no more 10 or 11 lb talk here. :) Next Thursday is my 37 week appointment but I don't get checked for that one. So I'll have another baby update for you guys on the 16th when my 38 week appointment comes around if I haven't had him by then (which I'm still praying he comes any day now).

We also have STILL not come up with a name. I would really appreciate some suggestions. We are looking for not common, interesting, strong names. None starting with a B simply because I don't want all my kids to have B names.

Wow, it's so soon! I don't have any suggestions on names - we like unusual names, too, but I haven't heard anything lately that has stood out to me. Aside from "Silas," that is. =)

Oh boy! The time is getting very near! I hope you have a little boy in your arms WELL before month's end! Can't wait to hear about "big sister's" reaction, impressions, etc. when he gets here. I remember wanting my mama to "take the baby back!" when my sister was born and came home! LOL!

Take care of yourself and I'll be watching for updates!
Love ya!

No baby yet, still waiting. No names yet, still a list of possibilities. Still not swelling much if any but still gaining weight. :( I think it will probably be the early 20s of October if early at all. Feeling fine just uncomfortable and hard to move around much. No more floor sitting or bending over for me. :)
