Melina update
July 07, 2005It seems we are well on our way to meeting little Melina in person, but then again, maybe not. Went to the doctor Tuesday and was told I am now 80% effaced and 2-3 cm dilated. My doctor said we need to be ready as little Mel can decide to come out any day now. She hopes to see me at my next appt on the 12th, but said she would not be shocked if I went into labor before that. However, she also said that it would be a good idea to make an appt to see her on the 1st of August just in case Melina is not out. She will want to “encourage” her out on the 1st. So, who really knows? All I know is that if we make it past my due date she is going to weigh close to 10 lbs and that is not sounding like a fun afternoon for anyone. Today is Thursday so if she is on my “SF parking schedule” then perhaps she will decide this weekend is a good time to head out into the world. We’ll see. In the meantime, I am trying my best to shake this cold I caught. Spending a lot of time resting and remembering the days when popping a few cold medicine pills and cough syrup would have cured this problem in no time. I can’t remember the last time I had to “ride out” a cold—if ever. Oh well, new experiences! My handsome boy Clyde is not handling all of this very well. I wonder if he senses something. Sure do wish he could talk.
