Today I had my 37 week ultra sound, and the model estimated that Lacie weighs about 6.8lbs (+/- 8 ounces). Also, if I carry her to term (Nov 11th), then her estimated weight will be 7.5lbs. I told the tech that maybe I need to eat Blue Bell every night for the next 3 weeks, but she said that probably won't help. Bottom line is ... I have small babies!!!! I am still dilated 1cm, but my cervix has started to thin. Dr. Westmoreland seems to think that I should be able to carry her three more weeks. I sure hope she is right!!!
On another note, Cas keeps picking up various illnesses from Mother's Day Out. Not fun!!!! Her Pediatrician mentioned that ideally, I should keep her home full time (since Lacie will be arriving soon), but I really do not want to remove her from the program. So, we will see how the next few weeks go and then make a decision. I think the socialization with others kids at MDO is great for Cas, plus it will give Lacie and I a little one on one time.
In regards to work, my plan now is to continue working part-time until my 40th week, but I guess that all depends on how uncomfortable I get over the next couple of weeks.
I will keep posting updates frequently : )
