I had another doctor appointment this morning! Before the appointment I weighed myself to see if I've gained anything. Up until 2 days ago I was still weighing 117 like I had weighed at my last appointment. Well, my scale read 120. I was a little shocked that in 2 days my weight jumped 3 pounds. (I know I am lucky to not notice any extra weight gain other than in my belly.) BUT, you can imagine I was even MORE shocked when the doctor's scale read 121.9 lbs! I gained 4 pounds in 2 weeks, and I'm kind of afraid that Wren actually gained those 4 lbs! (Haha, let's hope not!)
When Dr. Thornton walks in she immediately mentions that she is on call this weekend and was thinking she might see me! I was a little taken back by that... I think Wren will be here soon, but THAT SOON! AHH! She did the Beta Strep Test and then checked to see if I've started to dilate yet. She said Wren's head is really low and that I am at a loose 1 cm (so almost 2 cm) and I am around 60% effaced!!! (I know this doesn't mean Wren is on her way out or anything, but I struggled to get to 2 cm with Jude, so the fact that I haven't done anything to almost be there now is pretty exciting!) Wren's heart rate was in the 150s. She was moving like crazy this morning, too!
Dr. Thornton said she would see me next Tuesday if I haven't already had her... and her prediction is that Wren will be here before the 16th!!!
Side Note: I still have to pack Jude a bag, hang a couple of things in Wren's room, go grocery shopping and buy extra, do my belly cast, install car seat base in the van, and clean clean clean....
