State of the Uterus Address
I've been having mild contractions since 9 last night. They were coming an average of every 10 minutes last night up until about 4:30am when they shifted to about every 5-7. They still weren't kill me painful, so I just waited it out. I had a scheduled doctor's appointment today anyway. They did a growth ultrasound:
She's still a girl
She's measuring a week and 2 days ahead of schedule
Her estimated weight as of this morning (pre-chicken parm sub and a slice of cheese pizza for lunch) was 7lbs 6 oz.
She still has plenty of fluid in there
She has "a ton of hair" according to the tech (what What WHAT?!)
Shorty's getting low, low, low - they couldn't get a full shot of her head she was so far down.
I'm 2cm dilated
And the only bad was they mentioned seeing lots of fluid surrounding her kidneys, so they're going to have to give her an ultrasound when she's born. They didn't make a big deal of it, they didn't really go into detail about what it meant (still haven't googled). They said it will most likely right itself.
Re: State of the Uterus Address
I'm glad things look good, and I'm sure the fluid is nothing. Well, I really can't be sure since I'm not a doctor, or a woman, or a baby, or a fluid expert...but I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Thanks, my babies!
But, you guys are jinxing her, now she's going to be ugly and you're all going to be all, "Wow. Just wow."
Big Al was 8lbs 12 ozs. They never gustimated his weight for me in Raleigh though - I think it's better I went in blind.
I had some heartburn and reflux. But it ain't no thang compared to Monster Vagina. It was so weird, maybe November can relate - but we could actually see her hair moving in the amniotic fluid. It looked Pantene/Breck amazing. Compared to my Mr. Clean baby of 15+ months, she's full on Crystal Gayle-ing it up in there.
I bet her FUPA's name is Shane, like the gunslinger/drifter of literature.--HappyTummy
Shhhhhhh Jen, you're scaring my bahginey.
As long as they're wrong in the wrong direction, I'm cool. But, by your formula I'll be birthing Will 2.0.
I cahn't do eet, Captain!
I don't know what this is in reference to, but now at some point when you're pushing I really want you to yell, "I'm giving it all she's got Captain!" in a Scottish accent.
