My due date has come and gone, but Maddie has decided not to make an appearance yet. I had a doctor's appointment this morning, and I'm making lots of progress. I'm 4 cm dilated & 80% effaced. Now I just have to wait and see when she decides she wants to come. If she doesn't show up this week I have another appointment on Friday the 27th & from there we'd schedule an induction for March 1st or 2nd. Hopefully it doesn't get to that point.
Here's what babycenter has to say this week:
It's hard to say for sure how big your baby will be, but the average newborn weighs about 7 1/2 pounds (a small pumpkin) and is about 20 inches long. His skull bones are not yet fused, which allows them to overlap a bit if it's a snug fit through the birth canal during labor. This so-called "molding" is the reason your baby's noggin may look a little conehead-ish after birth. Rest assured — it's normal and temporary.
