38 weeks

I had my appointment this morning. I am now 1-1 1/2 cm dilated, 50% effaced and Hudson's heart rate was around 137. Because he hasn't been moving as much lately he did a NST today, which he said looked great. He should have an increase in heartrate at least 2 times in 20 minutes and he had 6. I wasn't having any contractions while we were doing the test but my uterus was irritated. The u/s tech said he weighs about 6 lbs 6 oz right now and fluid level was looking great. I asked the doctor about induction if he hasn't come...he said because everything is going "normal" right now, the hospital won't let him induce before I am 1 week late if there isn't a problem. So the soonest he could induce me would be July 26 but he said he really thought I would have him by then. He said if he were to guess based on size, position, and progress so far he thinks I'll have him pretty close to my due date, his guess would be the 17-21. Hopefully he's right!

Tonight my friend is taking some maternity pictures for me...so I'll have real pictures to post sometime in the near future...
