38 weeks, 5 days -- quick stats

Blood pressure: 122 over 76

Weight: up 2 lbs from last week

Estimated baby size: close to 8 lbs.

Urine: normal

Cervix: closed, but 80 percent effaced

The doc did not sound terribly optimistic about me going into labor before the scheduled C-section, which is now 8 days away, but said anything could happen.  Keeping my fingers crossed and my legs open.
