And let the games begin!!!

Ok, if you notice the previous posts were made in the middle of the night last night. I was woken up from a nice deep sleep to real CONTRACTIONS!!!! I tried to sleep, but then also got very hungry and the combo of contractions and hungry made it impossible to sleep. So I came down to get something to eat and made some blog posts. About 3 hours later, all had subsided...sort of. I still felt 'strange' this morning....and only got about 3 hours sleep. We had our cleaning lady come this morning and then I had my prenatal appoinment this afternoon...perfect timing.

UPDATE!
Well, my body DID retain some knowledge because the first comment out of my OB's mouth when she just started to exam me was "WHOA! This baby's head is RIGHT here, extremely low" She literally was suprised and shocked. So, it may not sound a lot to others, but compared to last time ANY progress is so great.

1 cm dialated
50% effaced
Baby is AT LEAST at zero station. (Goes from -3, -2,-1, 0, 1, 2, 3)
She stripped the membranes as well. Sometimes that spurs labor on within two days, sometimes not.

My OB said I have a good chance of the baby coming fast since she is so low:) Not a guarantee, but it COULD happen. WOW...I was so in shock from the change from last pregnancy to this one!

Also, my OB pulled in the ultra sound and we checked for gender again..because THREE people contacted me and said they either had thoughts or dreams of the baby being a boy!! Freaked me out!! SO, baby was so crammed we had a hard time seeing. BUT, we did not see any boy parts where she said usually she would have and she did start to see the girl parts, but the foot blocked 1/2 of it so she would not call it for sure...but said she really thinks GIRL!!!!!!!

GIRL!! :)

Ok, now Lacy is watching videos, Eddy is bringing take out, and I am attempting to rest. I am SO tired from last night and a big day...time to rest and make sure I do not get run down!! Stay tuned!

Grampa T agrees with Justin and still thinks it's going to be a Tofslie BOY too! (I'll love whatever that little child is!)
