Baby update

I went to the Drs. on Tuesday to check my progress.

I am starting to dilate more and already effaced to 80%.

The Dr. says Brendan is likely about 8.5 pounds now and will gain .5 a week. If I don't go into labor by the morning of 1/9 I am going to get induced at 7:30 am. She does not want the baby to get too big and my blood pressure is getting higher.

I am very uncomfortable and happy that an end is in sight.

Love the cute Irish name. I'll be thinking about you today. I had a baby that was a little bigger than that and it wasn't too bad. I promise. ;)
