Week 39 and Counting


The countdown to the due date is now 7 days. It is hard to believe that it's almost time for baby M's arrival. Today at my Ob appointment my cervix was 2cm dilated and 80% effaced.

These are my predictions for labor:
  • Back labor (which I've heard is painful) since I usually have back cramps during menstration
  • A birthdate of 10/09/08 (which would have been the due date if 2008 hadn't been a leap year)
  • A birth weight of 8 pounds 6 ounces (factoring my 8 pounds 3 ounces birth weight and D's 6 pounds ? ounces birth weight (as a twin, mind you)
  • A birth length around 21 inches (mine)

We'll have to wait and see if my predictions are correct.
