Elliott:
Your size hasn't changed much since last week, you weigh anywhere from 6.5 to 7 pounds now, maybe more. We went to see Dr. Chang this week, and to my surprise, we've made progress. I'm now 50% effaced and dilated 1 centimeter, meaning you could really decide to come any day now. We go back next Tuesday, unless you decide to come before then.
We've been distracting ourselves with Christmas, wrapping gifts, attending parties, shopping, and looking at Christmas lights. It's hard to believe you'll be joining us in no more than 2 weeks. Just to be safe, we packed our bags for the hospital. Now when you decide you are ready, we'll be ready to load up the car and head to labor and delivery.
This is my last week of work before my maternity leave starts. I'll be thankful to be off my feet for a while, because this week you have been making me very uncomfortable. I've had lots of lower back pain and pressure, making my usual 8 hour work days cutting, coloring and styling hair, feel like 18 hour work days. But, we're almost there, and I know you'll be worth all the aches and pains pregnancy has brought me, so much so that I'll forget all about them and go though this all again some day.
Come join us soon,
Momma
