Captain, My Captain! August 26, 2008
Well, our hero could come at any second, but I don’t think he’s quite ready to make his world debut. At our appointment last Thursday, the doctor said he weighs around 6 lbs. or so, and his head is at -1 station in my pelvis. That’s one cm above “0 Station” which means he is “engaged” - like a missile ready to shoot out! The doc didn’t tell me anything about my effacement, but my cervix still has a CLOSED FOR BUSINESS sign on it. His heartbeat is still good; 140 bpm when at rest and 165 bpm when he’s agitated. My back is killing me now, so I’ve started going to the chiropractor. I felt absolutely euphoric after my appointment yesterday, and it was also my last day at work. For the next few weeks I’ll be getting things ready around the house and also getting some much-needed rest. I am starting to get extremely impatient with people and exceedingly likely to say rude things to anyone who crosses me. Best that I’m locked up until this baby arrives so I don’t get arrested! Haha.
That’s all for now. Next appointment is in 2 days.
