There have been many changes since my appointment last week. As of today I am now dilated to 2 cm!! It was really nice to hear some different news this time! She also said that Karys has dropped even lower - so she is getting ready! Because of these new changes, Dr Patronella discussed with Tim and I when we would need to go to the hospital. She said when my contractions are 5 minutes apart for one hour or when my water breaks is when we need to head to the hospital. It was very exciting to be able to hear that things are progressing! We are so anxious to meet our daughter!

We also had our ultrasound today and our baby girl now weighs approximately 6 pounds - which is right on track for me being 36 weeks 4 days. The ultrasound technician also informed us that our little one has quite the head full of hair already too! It was so good to see our little girl again too. This will be our last ultrasound until she is born. She has changed so much! She completely filled up the screen this time!

Since being off strict bedrest I have been moving around the house more and walking down the street to the mailbox at night with Tim. I guess all the moving around this week is what made me dilate further. It shouldn't be too much longer now! Karys could basically come at any time now!! The doctor said she would be perfectly safe if she were to come now and they would not do anything to stop it now that I am far enough along in the pregnancy.

Needless to say, I am going to keep walking and moving around the house more!! Things are looking great and we're so excited about today's news!!

Love,
Steph & Tim
