First and most important...nope, Jax isn't here yet! The funny "just wanted to say Hi" calls are starting to come in so I thought it was time to post an update... :)
At our 38 week appointment (last Tuesday) I was 1cm dilated and still about 50% effaced. Everything with both Jax and I still looks great...good blood pressure, steady heart beat for him, my belly measurement was right at 38 weeks, etc. I am starting to get pretty uncomfortable though...he is definitely "dropping" as I notice that I am constantly pulling my shirts down during the day to cover my belly! My feet/ankle swelling is also getting worse by the day...I can't wait for the day when I can actually see the bones in my feet again! Sleeping is also starting to get really interesting...getting in and out of bed is like an Olympic event! :) BUT...other than those few things, I am doing really well. I am just ready to have and meet this little boy!
For fun, we have started a "When will Jax arrive?" game! If you have a prediction for his arrival date (and his weight/length) email me and I will add it to the list! :) Here is the list so far:
