Contractions and effacement!!

hey girls! how is everyone doing?? i had my weekly appointment today with my biophysical profile - baby is six and a half pounds at the beginning of 35 weeks!!!! I thought that i was having braxton hicks every once in a while, but turns out i've having real contractions semi regularly!! crazy! they are small, and not consistent enough to mean anything significant.. but i was shocked to see that on the monitor!    baby looks good, and my original scheduled induction is october 28th.. buuuut they think maybe in 3 weeks we could go ahead and get her here sooner if anything goes south! crazy that its so soon - I AM READY! oh and apparently my cervix is softening and 25% effaced! - last week everything was at a 0!    have yall gotten everything ready and in order for yalls big arrival? cnat believe we are almost there!!!!

whooo! thats great girls!!!! i really cant believe we are almost there! we are going to be super duper productive this weekend - getting everything in order and pretend like this just might be the last weeked that we'll be a family of 2! : )       Nickswife- sounds like we are in a very similar boat!!! my dr also said the longest possible time she'd keep me pregnant was the e28th, but probably not that long - more like three weeks if not 2 whooo!!!!  cant wait to meet our miracle babies!!!!!! : )

hey ladies..bny-i just got back from my appt with the dr. and it looks like i only have about 3 weeks left too- we will be close! i had a c-section scheduled for the 30th but he said i wont make it. soo he told me to count on no later than the 21st but it could be sooner, we are going week to week. he just wants to make sure her lungs will be fully developed. he knows i am SO ready!! i have a growth u/s monday, and am still going for the NST every monday and back to the dr on wednesday- then i'll have only 2 wks or less! im trying to hang in there! he checked me today and said im only about a fingertip right now, but i guess if i having a c-section it doesnt really matter. well hang in there ladies, we are getting there! it's getting exciting!
