Baby Girl Update

Well, went to my doctor's appointment yesterday and got my first official "check" to see where we're at on the road to labor. Doc says I'm 50% effaced, 1 cm dialated and at station -3 (which means she hasn't dropped at all yet). So, we're started, but still have quite a ways to go...which could take the next 23 days, or could happen sooner, I suppose. We'll just wait and see. We're hoping to at least make it past Thanksgiving. I'd like to make it to at least December 1st so that all of us girls are in December, but we'll see what happens. The only thing that makes me willing to have her earlier is the size she is getting to be. LoL Three weeks ago, my doc asked me how big Jarrin was and I told him 7 lbs, 12 and 1/2 oz. He said, oh I think this one's gonna be smaller than that, around 6 pounds or so. I laughed, because that's what they said about Jarrin...then this week I go in and he asked me again how big Jarrin was. I told him and he told me, well...this one's getting there...He's guessing she's already about 7 1/2 lbs!!! What's funny though is that with only 15 lbs gained, and her at 7 1/2 lbs, and the placenta, uterus and fluids weighing in at about 6 lbs, I should be under my starting weight after this birthing is over just like last time! LOL CANNOT beat that!
