Baby Update

I had my weekly OB check up this morning. Good news is that baby girl looks strong and healthy. She might be on the big size for her gestational age (34.5 weeks). The doctor squished around on my belly and estimated her to be between 5.5 and 6 pounds - a good size! Better than the 3 pounds, nine ounces we though she might be born at four weeks ago! Scary news is that I'm 3 cm dilated and 70% effaced. This means she could come at any moment now. I'm feeling a little crampier than usual, but no pain. Nothing I would call a for sure contraction. The doctor wants us to do everything we can to get her to Thursday when I'll be a complete 35 weeks. Then the goal is next Thursday, a complete 36 weeks. Now we're down to counting off days and being thankful for every day she's still in there. We continue to pray for patience and a healthy baby. I continue to pray for strength to stay still. One of the nurses told me that all we can do what we can do to keep her in there, but she's going to come when the Good Lord says it's time!
