Another Week Come and Gone

I had another doctors appointment today and things haven't progressed as much as I hoped. I am still dilated to just a one, but I have effaced to 50% which I can't complain about. I am so ready to hold this baby, I'm tired of carrying him around in my belly! I did ask the doctor if she had a guess on how much he is weighing, she said between seven and seven and a half pounds. That sounds like a lot seeing as I still have two weeks to go! He could easily put on another pound before he makes his appearance and eight and a half pounds doesn't sound to pleasant. Ever since Mandy said to think of the baby's weight in Costco sized M&M bags (eight pounds means 4 of those bags!) I can't possibly think birthing that many "M&M's" would be at all pleasant! Hopefully things will spontaneously combust and I will have this kid tomorrow. One could only hope!

Dear Colton
Your mother is dying a slow death. Please just use your little fingers and break her water to get things going. Aren't you sick of living in her belly? It is so much more fun out here.
Love,
Aunt Lyndsey

PS Please be nice to your mom on your way out!!
