A Baby Update ...

... with some actual happenings! But don't get too excited ... I'm not planning to give birth this week or anything.
However, as of my baby appt. this morning I was 2 cm dilated and 50% efaced ... so I guess everything I've been feeling over the past couple weeks is actually doing something.
At my ultrasound they estimated our little girlie to weigh about 6 lbs. 5 oz. ... so she's already past what Justin and Sydney weighed at birth, and rapidly approaching what Hailey weighed in at! Of course, they say their estimates are "give or take a 1/2 pound" ... but still ... we're thankful that she's a good size already. There's a good chance we'll finally break the 7 lb. barrier if I stay pregnant just a little bit longer (which I'm planning on!).
There aren't any pics to post of the little one as she is just too big to get any good shots at this point. And although she still has a round head (with lots of hair, but nothing new there for a Herr baby!), the technician assured me that her head is measuring around average at this point ... and even better is very low (I could've told you that!) and in the correct position to deliver, so that was good news and we are praying she stays that way!

Thanks for your participation in the "name game." It has been interesting to see which names get the most votes (and humorous to see that Adalie and Emily are tied for the lead ... one is "unheard of" according to some and the other has been #1 for the past 8 years or something!). There likely won't be any final decision made until the baby is born ... but in the mean time it has provided us with some entertaining conversations!
