No news is good news, I guess.

Sixteen days until our due date. I gained almost 4 pounds in one week. Hoo-rah. No internal check because the midwife was running 30+ minutes behind and in a hurry. She said she’d guess that we’re 100% effaced and 2-3 cm dilated but there’s no telling until she checks but then she never got around to checking so who knows… Fundal height of 37 cm. Blood pressure 110/70. Little baby heart rate in the 140′s, probably gaining half a pound a week (or more!) now. I’m supposed to try to fall asleep on my right side for comfort sake since most of the baby weight is on my left and when I sleep on my left side, I end up getting all kinds of ligament pains and cramps. Blah blah blah…

SO, no baby. This midwife, Joan… Jean… I can never remember – AABC has one of each, warned me to call as soon as I thought I was in labor. We’ll see… It’s just a waiting game at this point.

I wanted to edit to add that we would post our baby names if we actually knew what we’d end up with but I just changed the girl name this morning and we have yet to decide 100% on a boy name (it’s about 80% set I guess). The middle names are pretty decided.

Girl middle name: Mae
Boy middle name: David

As for the first names, well, I guess we will all have to wait and see.
