Nothing new, really...

I went to the doctor again on Tuesday. Still 50% effaced (or "thinned out"), still not dilated at all. And he's still dropped down real low, head first. So nothing has changed in the last week except that I've gained another pound, so I'm up to +25 lbs total now. I'm okay with that -- They say the average you usually gain is 25-35 lbs, so I think by the time he comes I'll still be in that range, unless I get some major swelling right at the end.

My next appointment is next Thursday morning. We'll see if anything has changed by then...

Also next week we're meeting with two different pediatricians for consultations. On Tuesday we're meeting with Dr. Grant Willard from Sandhills Pediatrics. Then on Thursday we're meeting with Dr. Ramkumar Jayagopalan (aka Dr. Kumar) from Carolina Pediatrics. Location-wise, their offices are pretty close to each other and where we live, so we'll see which doctor and office we end up liking better.

Once that is done I guess there really isn't anything else major we need to do to "get ready" for little guy to come... I hope he doesn't decide to come anytime before then, just because I'd really like to visit the doctors first, but whatever happens, happens. Personally, I don't think we'll see him before the week after next, but then again, who knows?
