No such luck.....

...So we sort of got our hopes up that the ultrasound today would allow us to finally have a confirmed date for Max's arrival. Unfortunately no. Good news is Max is NOT breach like they thought last week. He is head down according to the ultrasound. Everything looked very good on the US, and they estimate he weighs about 7 lbs 7 ounces right now, which the doctor says is perfectly normal for this stage in the pregnancy (38 weeks). I do have a couple of pictures, but they are kind of hard to see. I will try to get them scanned in and post them as soon as I can.

So after we found out at the ultrasound that he is in fact head down, we were at least hoping for a little bit of dilation...no such luck there either. Still ZERO centimeters dilated. This little guy (well, starting to be big guy) is just in no hurry to come out. I'm trying really hard not to be upset about it, but they really had our hopes up last week that we might get to meet him in the next week or so. Oh well! We'll see what happens now!

Keep us in your prayers - these next few days/weeks could start to get very long and hard. I'm already finding it very hard to sleep, and work is definitely no fun at this point. Fingers crossed for some progress over the next week...

Have a good weekend!

  2. Awww! I remember that feeling. It will be here soon and the end is in sight. We are praying for y'all and can't wait to hear more updates. Just from experience, be prepared! I never made any progress at all and all of a sudden my water broke. There is hope!
