Weekly Update

Another doctor’s appointment has come and gone. They now start off appointments by asking me if I feel as though I am in labor. They ask so calmly as though I might have simply forgotten to mention it to them. Apparently I haven’t started dilation but I am 50% effaced… it means I have started the process but it could still be awhile (hours, days or weeks) before Ryan decides to make an appearance. Two weeks until the due date, however there is only like a 5% chance that babies are actually born on their due dates so that number isn’t very helpful either. I have a law school exam today (my last in-class anything for the semester) so Don predicted that I would go into labor tonight, I guess we will just have to wait and see.

Additional stuff I forgot to mention like 4 hours ago when I initially posted this:
(1) The doctor said the baby was about 7 pounds (yay Don's genetics)
(2) I have started getting the reaction of "wow how pregnant are you..?" from many people.. I told a waitress I was due in 2 weeks.. she looked at me and said "there is no way you are making it two weeks, there is no more room" Apparently I look as pregnant as I feel.
I tried to take a picture of the belly but I think I need Dons help, my pictures were too close and the belly just looked scary.. like it might come through the camera and eat someone...
