40 weeks

I had another doctor appointment this morning. Everything is going well. I have gained 30 pounds total and my blood pressure is great. I am swelling in the evening and very slow these days. I am one centimeter dialated and my cervix is very thin. My doctor says most second time babies do not drop (don't dialate). Your cervix thins out and they come after that.... She estimates he is already 8 pounds already. If he does not come by Friday morning I will be induced.....
I promise to keep everyone posted.... In the mean time my parents are here helping us finish up around the house and get ready for baby Charlie to arrive. We are all excited and anxious for our new addition......

You are such a wonderful home...your babies don't want to come out! Hopefully Charlie will make his way before Friday and you won't have to get induced. Todd is upset he has to leave on Sat and will only get a few hours with Charlie before he heads out. Can't wait to meet the little guy!
