YEAAAAAAA....You make me wanna COOP

yes, I just titled my blog after the song SHOOP...Kim and Ashley, that was for you. I have memories of us riding around in Rosie singing that song and for some reason when I say Coopers name, I think of that song...just because it rhymes, no other reason.

Alrighty then...FOCUS, ERIN, FOCUS!!

Went to doctor today for sono and check up. I have moved from a 2 to a 3 in a week. Didn't ask about the "effaced" part. Don't really even know what that means. All I know is that I never left the 2 spot with Parker and now, here I am, 37 1/2 weeks, and already at a 3 with Cooper. I was pretty excited about that. To put it in perspective for you on how I am feeling, when I was induced after 40 weeks with P, I went in to the hospital at dilated to a 2 and 80% effaced. I had my epidural at a 4 and went from a 4 to an 8 in 45 minutes. Soooo...to be at a 3 now and not even being close to 40 weeks yet gives me some hope that I might go into labor on my own.

What does this mean??
I am still scheduled to be induced at 6 a.m. on Thursday, May 27th unless I go into labor before then. Based on my progress, doctor said it could happen. Who knows...babies have a funny way of doing what they want to do on their own time.

The sono was so fun! I had so many sono's with P because of the GD GD (gosh darn gestational diabetes), but with C this was my 3rd. I have not seen him since 20 weeks, my...how things change!! Right now, he is measuring 7 lbs 4 oz. Now to some of you this may seem large. But to me...this is a heavenly number. P was 8 lb 9 oz. and last week they told me C was really big, so to hear this number today made me relax a bit. Now, he can still gain 1 lb a week from here, so if I go 2 more weeks that puts him over 9 lbs, but we'll just pretend for now that this won't happen.

Now for the pics...this little dude has some serious cheeks on him. I can't wait to meet him in less than 14 days!!!
