I met with one of my favorite midwives today, Jackie. I was anxious to hear if anything was progressing since I'm up to 9 doses of Evening Primrose Oil a day and had acupuncture this week.
Well, I AM!! I am 1 cm dilated, 60% effaced, -2 station. She said Nugget is facing the right direction and probably a good 7 pounds. I have gained a beastly 2 pounds, normal blood pressure (surprising since I had a breakdown to my sister about my short term disability 30 minutes earlier...), and measuring at 35. She predicts Nugget will be here BEFORE May 24th. She even mentioned she's working Mother's Day :)
I know I can be 1 cm dilated for weeks, but I'm happy Nugget is moving in the right direction- DOWN!
I have a hunch Nugget will be a Friday the 13th baby. My students hope I will have Nugget at prom. Uh, yeah no. That's tomorrow night and you can bet that I won't be going if I have any contractions.
A bagel and a huge portion of pasta is in my near future...
