We saw Dr. Gorman again today to find out I'm still not dialated at all. He's still low, which is good, because we've been walking 2.5 miles a day to ensure he's low. We heard the heartbeat again today, something you never tire of. Cameron's legs and feet are over on my right side and his little butt is right above my belly button (or what used to be my belly button). It's amazing how the doctors can poke around just a tiny bit and know exactly how he's positioned. Everything is looking great. The doctor told us it's normal for your first pregnancy to go beyond the due date and that he sees this ten times a day.
We scheduled our final prenatal appointment for next Tuesday (11:30 again) with Dr. Cole. If I'm still not dialated, we'll be back Wednesday evening to get things started...otherwise we'll be back Thursday morning. We're curious to see what they consider "evening" and "morning". Either way, it looks like Cameron's birthday will most likely be September 17th (four months after mine to the day). We found out the list of on call doctors for next week. It looks like if things go fast and he arrives Wednesday he'll be delivered by Dr. Cole (we saw him at 20 weeks after our ultrasound). If he arrives on Thursday he'll be delivered by Dr. Seale, who we've seen twice already and really liked. Dr. Hinton will be on call starting Friday until Sunday. We should have the hard parts over with by then and be itching to get home!
So...this is our last weekend as a family of two. Next week everything will change...for the rest of our lives. We were talking at lunch about how we feel a little less anxious now that something has been scheduled/planned. Yes, he could still come before then, but given the progress so far, it seems highly unlikely.
