Almost there! I had an appointment yesterday, and even though the doctor had an exam to do anyway, she wouldn't check to see if I was dilated yet because she "didn't want to disturb anything." Kinda disappointed about that! I've been feeling a lot of LOW pressure, no contractions, but just pressure, so I'm thinking he's at least getting into position. Tummy is bigger than ever and I am FEELING IT!!! My chiropractor appt. today didn't even give me much relief for long. :(
Here's to hoping he'll be at least a LITTLE early... :)
"Your baby is still packing on the pounds — at the rate of about an ounce a day. He now weighs almost 6 pounds (like a crenshaw melon) and is more than 18 1/2 inches long. He's shedding most of the downy covering of hair that covered his body as well as the vernix caseosa, the waxy substance that covered and protected his skin during his nine-month amniotic bath. Your baby swallows both of these substances, along with other secretions, resulting in a blackish mixture, called meconium, will form the contents of his first bowel movement."

You look great! And he'll be here before you know it :) It must be frustrating that she didn't check for dilation, but the longer he stays in there the better off he'll be (within reason of course :P)
Looking good! Hope he comes a "little" early so you aren't too uncomfortable.
You look wonderful!! Thinking of you every day...can't wait to hear the news of Byron's arrival! :)
