So today was the day that we went in for our ultrasound and doctor appointment. Right now I am at 39 weeks and I was hoping that my body would have made some progress in the past week...especially with how crummy I have been feeling, how I haven't slept and all that fun stuff that people in the 3rd trimester of pregnancy get to go through. Not so lucky! My body is where it was last week and he is lower, but there is no dilation and I am still at 50% effaced. A little depressing, but not the end of the world. At the ultrasound, they measured the baby to see how big he is getting. We got to see his little organs and yes...he is definitely a boy! They started out measuring his head...average for 41 weeks.

Oh you poor thing! How I chuckled at the "potatoes" and "flour" idea. I even thought the same thing. These guys just don't have a clue.
