Well fancy that

My doctor appointment went well today. Baby has dropped significantly and I have dilated to a 2 and am 70% effaced. Dr has given the word that I could go in to labor at any time and marveled at my progress since first time moms never seem to progress as well as I have.

Girly McHotpocket is measuring a little small. If she doesn't buck up and grow much by next week we will scan to make sure there is enough amniotic fluid and make sure she is ok.

and after a week of eating cheeseburgers and milkshakes in an attempt to put some weight on, I only gained half a pound this past week.

Fingers crossed that she waits until after New Years-which is NEXT WEEK! Chances seem pretty good that she will deliver before my Jan 17th due date. Can I get a woot woot?

oh and PS. Those sharp shooting pains I have been experiencing occasionally? They are contractions and not those wimpy Braxton Hicks. Fancy that.
