Effacement-This refers to the thinning of the cervix in preparation for birth, and is expressed in percentages. You'll be 100% effaced when you begin pushing.
By the way I accidentally said I was fully effaced and actually I am more like 70% or so. Getting close :) Oh and my bladder infection results were negative...so really all that pressure was all baby sitting on my bladder. But at least it isn't an infection.
Well we are back at the house now for the second time. We got power yesterday for most of the day and then it went out again at like 4 until this morning. So we are back here trying and hoping that the power will not go out again. I have too much stuff to get ready. I need to clean and make sure everything is ready for the little one.
Well take care all and I will keep you all posted!
Hey I heard it might be up to 8 weeks before they stop doing the power outages for The Woodlands, Conroe and Montgomery. I believe they are turning it off on certain places for a couple hours so that others can get electric. I hope thats not true. I was told this by a lady who talked to the power company. Get this The Woodlands mall is built half in Spring and half in The Woodlands so when they turn the power off only half of the mall is turned off. Wierd huh?
ReplyDeleteI pray you have a safe and easy delivery...its almost here !!!! She is going to be beautiful!
That stinks!!! Good thing we are in Willis :) My Father in law called entergy yesterday and they put a note on our file so that if we lose power it will bump us to the top of the priority list since we are about to have a new baby :) What pull!!! I love it :)
ReplyDeleteya they are shutting down power to help get things going for those that still dont have power...i am sorry... hope it all works out! that baby is coming whether there is power or not huh? God bless!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you are able to get some stuff ready in your house! It's already Wednesday. Only 5 more days...or less! How exciting! Please let me know if I can do ANYTHING! I am available this weekend!
ReplyDeleteSo now my question is, what's a cervix?
ReplyDeleteif only i were kidding.
That is a different Rachel...I sure hope I would know what a cervix is since it's the main focus of the last few weeks of pregnancy!!!!!!! Thanks for the explanation though!! :)
ReplyDeleteThat is so funny that you thought it was my rachel. that would be pretty bad if she didn't know all that stuff, being 8 months pregnant! Pretty funny!
ReplyDeletehaha...that makes more sense now...i did think it was Rach...i was seriously wondering why she didn't know that already :)
ReplyDeleteHa ha!! Quite humorous! Chalk it up to preggo brain! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Lindsay for your encouraging words and thanks for keeping us in your prayers. I'm still waiting to here about you! I am too excited to see what your baby is going to look like and what the names is. You have been good about not telling any of us or at least you have kept me in suspense. I will try and get a belly pic up here before you go into labor so you can see.
ReplyDeleteCan we get one last belly pic? And then, do we get an after the baby belly pic!! jk That was one of the wierdest parts to me. right after I had the baby, and I had the mushy tummy for a couple of days until it started getting normal again. That was fun! I can't wait to see her. How are you feeling? Only one more day...according to your ticker! Man, if only that were true! Usually we don't want our ticker to be true, we want to be early, but in your case you want it to be true, so that you aren't late! I was so glad Colton was early! Well, give me a call. I miss you.
