and counting!  My checkup yesterday was much of the same.. Baby boy’s heartbeat steady & strong in the 150′s.. Surprisingly I’ve actually lost a pound since last week’s appointment.  Obviously not a lot, but strange to hear “you’ve lost weight” when you’re 9 months pregnant.. lol  She started checking today to see if anything is “happening” and I’m 1cm dilated, but she said cervix seems pretty thick.  We’ve been joking that this would be the case.. Ah well, at least we know that being cautious for so many weeks has helped him to grow stronger for the outside world.  If I make it to 39 weeks then she’ll induce.  So, looks like the 24th will be the furtherest date away from us meeting our new miracle.
