I went to the doctor last Wednesday and found out that I was 2cm dilated and 40% effaced. Well, on Sunday I lost my mucus plug... and at yesterdays appointment I was 3.5cm dilated and 60% effaced. My doctors exact words were "go home and pack your bags honey... and make sure the car is full of gas!" She said that we have a week, maybe two.... but that she would "bet money" on the fact that we won't make it another two weeks. Much to my dismay, she put me on bedrest to prevent my cervix from dilating any faster than it already is..... so here I am..... laying in bed.... eating cold spaghettios at 9am. Hahaha. I really just hope we can make it to 37 weeks ((Thursday August 20th)). I would feel soooo much better about her lung maturity if she could just hold out a little longer! I feel like I jinxed us because I kept telling her that I wanted her to be a little early so daddy wouldn't be out of town when I go into labor! ((Jim has a business trip soon after our projected due date.)) Either Annabelle is a very good listener, or she's just impatient like her parents! :)
We have another ultrasound today, so we will see how big she is. She was 5lb 2 oz last week, so I hope that she has put on at least another 1/2 pound. We'd really like to see her make it to 6 pounds before she gets here. Wish us luck!
Still no amnio results.... they said 7-10 days.... today is day 7.
I'll keep you guys posted! Thanks so much for all the supportive texts, emails and facebook messages we have received.... they really mean a lot to us!
