I'm sorry Katelou, that is a lot of emotions to be dealing with.
Congrats Ray! That sounds amazing!!
I had my first cervix check today. I'm 1 cm dilated and 20% effaced so that's something! I wasn't expecting anything so I'm happy. Even though I know it can stay like this for a few weeks. I was not prepared for how uncomfortable checking the cervix is Lol. His head is pretty far down so she really had to reach around him to reach it. Pleasant!

katelou I'm sorry that your OB is not being very reassuring. I hope things look favorable on Friday. I second what others have said and that you can always ask to get a second opinion from a MFM. Sending (((hugs)))
lostinfaith225, I had a growth scan at 33 weeks and that's when she measured in the 7th percentile. So Friday we will find out if she maintained her growth or has slowed.
annbuhdan thank you for taking the time to reply! I'm so glad to hear your DD was fine and healthy. My first daughter was 50th percentile at birth so this is new to me. At our first growth ultrasound, the MFM completely freaked me out, threw around the "s" word (stillbirth) and couldn't give me an answer when I asked her what % of SGA babies are truly IUGR vs. healthy but constitutionally small. Dr. Google was way more helpful than she was. Last visit My OB calmed me down a lot and made me feel confident that nothing was really wrong and baby is just small. Today it was the total opposite. I'm sorry you are in the same boat. Good luck to you too!
In happier news, I found a dentist to temporarily fix my awful broken tooth and that feels so much better. I started calling dentists in the order they came up on my Google search and went to the first one who could take me today. The place was decorated like a spa, they offered me a warm neck wrap and had free single-serving bottles of wine. So funny. I'm totally going back there.
I'm going to murder my dog. Woke me up by licking constantly (the floor, his paws, who knows what else) then he threw up. Couldn't tell where it was so I stepped solidly in it trying go get something to clean it up. Meanwhile DH sleeps through all of this. Now the dog is out of the room lying down (and hopefully not licking his paws) and I had to shower so now I'm wide awake. I forgot how sleep deprived you can be going in to having a newborn.
Things are good! I updated the birth announcement thread.... Healthy baby girl is here! She is doing great. My only complaint is the itchiness caused by the pain meds. I'm hoping to get up and out of bed at the next nurse check in!
