Went well. I did not get "checked" so I can't report dilation or effacement or anything like that but the baby is moving lower. The baby has not officially "dropped" but is lower in my pelvis- all lined up and ready to go. Well not quite ready because I am clearly not in labor. I have had sporadic contractions though- not braxton hicks but actual honest to goodness contractions so that is REALLY exciting that something is happening. The baby's heart beat was 132-140 and appears very happy and healthy. The 8-8 1/2 pound prediction was confirmed however. BLAH. It's all good- I can handle anything.
We did discuss the game plan if i have not yet gone into labor by the time of my next appointment next thursday Feb 12. . .. But as I plan to have my baby by then (Wishful and super optimistic thinking I know) I will not go into that yet. The bottom line of said discussion is that as long as the baby is healthy and stress free then I will not be induced until Friday February 27. So still a whole lot of potential time ahead of us. Keep your fingers crossed. . . I'm thinking 5 days early would be super.
Keep ya posted. . .

OMG real contractions?? That is so great! You have a ton of wiggle room with the induction date, so hopefully little miss Bean will behave and come early. 8 lbs is a healthy baby! You must be in agony waiting to see if it's a Bean or a Beanette :)~Kelly
