We HEART Chickie!! (Part 5)

I had my weekly doctor's appointment today, and I've finally progressed to a whooping 0.5 cm dilated!! Wowzers :) Today's check-up definitely trumps last week's for the most painful moment of my life (thus far). Ouch. That's all I can say. Chickie is still head down, and when I say head down, I mean head VERY down. Chickie is very low despite the fact that I'm still not very dilated. At all. So, with that news, it looks like Chickie probably won't be coming out to meet us tomorrow after all :( My next appointment is scheduled for Tuesday afternoon. They're hoping that maybe Chickie will come naturally over the weekend (or sometime between Monday and Tuesday), but if he/she doesn't show up by Tuesday, I will have a 40-week ultrasound, which will help them assess whether or not they plan to induce me or wait it out further. Today Chickie's heartbeat was in the high 130s. Absolutely Perfect. We pray for a healthy, happy little Chicken Fry :)
