We went back to the doctor again on Tuesday, March 2nd. I was still 2cm dilated, but now I am only 50% effaced! How does that happen when I was 70% effaced last week? Well, Baby Wilt has decided to move back up after dropping down some. :( My mom said maybe it's a girl since she can't make up her mind which way to go! Haha. Apparently without the pressure of the baby pressing down on my cervix, it's not as thinned out which is why it went from 70% back to 50%. I had never heard of that before, but my friend Sara had her baby on March 3rd and the same thing happened to her during labor! She had been 100% effaced for a month, but she was only 70% when she got to the hospital because the baby had moved up. By the way, she ended up having a baby girl so my mom's theory still might hold true!:) I think the baby has dropped some again now since last Tuesday, so hopefully we'll find out on Tuesday that we're moving in the right direction again! Dr. Hartung said last week that she expects to see me this Tuesday at my appointment. She didn't think anything would happen before then.
Aaron, Dexter, and I went on a walk around the neighborhood last night since the weather is finally getting nice. I was great for the first 10 minutes or so, but the last 10 minutes were hard for me. I felt a lot of pressure, and I even had a contraction or two on our way back home. I guess the walking might be helping! We'll find out on Tuesday!
We haven't uploaded the 38 week pictures yet, but here is a picture from 37 weeks. If you look at the pictures a few posts below, I think you can tell the baby is higher again in this picture. (And notice how my shirt is not even close to fitting my belly anymore!)
