Quick Owen update

Our doctor's appointment went well this morning...although it would have been better if they had just kept me there and checked me into the hospital! I am still 3cm dilated and am now 50% effaced. We confirmed with the hospital and are still on for induction next Tuesday, November 18th. We also did our last ultrasound today and Owen is head-down facing my spine which is exactly how the doctor wants him to stay positioned for the delivery. His weight is estimated to be about 8 pounds right now so he may be up to 8 1/2 pounds by the time he comes out - that's over 1 pound more than Joey was at birth...YIKES!!!

Did I tell you I was 3cm, 50% with Grant for 5 whole weeks??!! What is it about second children that makes them want to stay in there?! (and if you can believe it, we also went to the hospital a tad early - like 4 weeks too early - ha!) You'd think we'd have it down the second time around : ) thinking lots of labor thoughts for you...

8.5 pounds, you'll be fine! I did 9 no drugs. Can't wait to see pictures of Owen when he finally makes his appearance! Good luck and best wishes for a fast and safe delivery.
