The little man is staying put for now. He is still at -1 pelvic station where the doctor said he could stay until I hit active labor. My cervix is still 80% effaced (thinned) and is shortening. Again she was messing around with the scar tissue which has loosened up since last week. Some exciting news was when she was checking my cervix she all of the sudden said, "Oh, there is his head, he has hair!" It was nuts! I could hardly believe that she was actually feeling his head. Brian was more shocked that he had hair! Based on the hairline of this kid's father and grandfathers, I assured Brian that the doctor must have been feeling the very back of his head and not the top :)
So, not much change from last week other than I have started having some mild Braxton Hicks contractions which just feel like mild menstrual cramps right now. The doctor is pleased with my progress and everything looks good...my weight, blood pressure, etc. She thinks I still have another couple weeks so it looks like we will definitely hit the due date if not go past it a few days.
We'll keep you posted on the (hairy!!) kid!

Are you pondering changing his name to Harry?
