Only 8 More Days!

Today is day number 272 and I am 39 weeks pregnant! We only have 1 week left until we meet Norah - I am 97.5% of the way there! YAY!

Norah will continue to put on an additional half pound this week and probably weighs in at about 6 to 6 1/2 pounds. She is around 21 inches in length and most of the lanugo has fallen off in preparation for birth. The umbilical cord that has carried nutrients from the placenta to her is now 20 inches long and is half an inch thick.


Our appointment today revealed that I am now just about 4cm dilated and still 70% effaced. She is now a lot lower and really getting ready to make her big entrance into this big world. Last week Seth and I decided to see if Norah was ready to come out and meet us. I took about 1oz of castor oil with a coke chaser. This is the picture you are seeing - and yes - this is is before I drank it! =) It didn't really do much but clean me out. So I guess she wasn't ready.

We will continue to keep you posted. Hopefully she will be born before Father's Day! That would be so cool for Seth.

Love you!
Tracy
