Any day now, 39 weeks! -Beware of delicate details-

So I went to my midwife appointment today, had to meet a new nurse, cause they want us to experience with all of them before going into labor.
She was such a sweet, kind midwife, I had a lot of fun with her.
Anyway, I am as of right now 2 centimeters dilated and 80% effaced, she almost scared me as her fingers were in me and she said, "Oh my!" His head is nearly right there, just a little bit to go.    Whew!
So then she stripped my membranes, cause I was feeling a lot of pressure down there on my bowels area anyway. Almost to the annoying fact that I was going to the bathroom with diarrhea about 3 times each day the last 2 days.
After that she looked at my chart and basically gave me the permission to eat whatever I want, she told me, laughing "It won't hurt to eat a candy bar you know, you're still skinny!"
Apparently I haven't gained any weight on my last 2 visits. So other than the increased back pain and cramping, baby is doing good. He is hopefully measuring to be about 6lbs so far, if there measuring is correct that is.
So that's the juicy update, Enjoy! :-)
