Goodness...

FIVE pounds in one week?!?!? How is this possible? :) At least I feel better about being extra tired, feeling extra heavy, and having zero energy - because I really did put on five pounds in one week. The first thing the doctor asked was to see my ankles - and nope - ZERO swelling. None of it is water retention. I haven't swelled this entire pregnancy. I should've seen this coming. This child has had a pattern of being quiet during a growth spurt for 1-2 days, and then being especially active after that for 2-3 days. He did that this week but I didn't think anything of it. Well, then combine that with it getting harder to breathe again and heartburn returning, he definitely has grown! He dropped and gave himself extra space and then just took a week and filled it all up!! :) That's great though, means he is doing great and that's really what's important. I progressed some - still not dilating much but he said my cervix has definitely thinned out and moved anterior. Baby's head is at zero station, which is pretty low. So all in all, we're looking pretty good but he (Dr. Abrams) still doesn't think I'll go before my due date. I may not after all. But really the closer that gets, it doesn't seem like all that long to wait. That's only really 2 weeks! I can handle that...

So now let's start the guessing. When do you think I'll go? How much do you think he'll weigh? How long will he be?? And what will his name be??! :) Let the guessing begin!
