I’m fully expecting to get picked on because of some of these choices, but I’m going to be getting a baby out of me, and I think these songs will help, so I don’t care if I get picked on!

Well, I had my first weekly exam today. The doctor said everything looks great, baby is no longer measuring small, and her heartbeat is good and strong.

Now, for the big news…I’m already dilated to 2cm, and 75% effaced! The doctor said our little girl could literally come anytime now…maybe this weekend, or maybe another 2 or 3 weeks from now. She said it’s likely that the baby will be out before her due date! She also said that the baby is kind of head-butting her way out…putting so much pressure on my uterus that it looks like she’s dilating me faster

So, everyone get ready…baby girl Brunson is going to be here soon!
