38 week appointment

We just got back from Sacha's 38-week appointment. For those of you following along at home, here are her most recent stats:

Cervix is very soft, "like an earlobe," according to the nurse practitioner. There's an image for ya.

No dilation, no effacement, but the kiddo has dropped! That would explain all the pressure S has been feeling.

She is doing great and is just such a rockstar at pregnancy. She's still playing on the floor with Mateo and holding him on her lap (such as it is) and just generally doing a great job.

Her partner teacher and their classes threw her a baby shower today at work and she brought home two boxes of gifts and some delicious sugary cake. Yummm. She took a bunch of photos (I was in on the surprise and snuck our camera into her purse this morning) but we can't post them because of school privacy stuff.

Instead of photos, I offer up this image: Sacha tells me that she won the pin-the-binky-on-the-baby game. She said she quietly went and scoped out the dimensions of the cardboard baby before the game started, so that she would know exactly where to put the paper binky! Competitive much? She did us proud, binky-pinning champ that she is :)

That's where we are right now. Stay tuned!
