Dilation

No we are not talking about a visit to the eye Doctor. Marisa isn't due until January 26th, but we found out a few days ago that she is already dilated to a 4! She was put on immediate bed rest. I am at the busiest time of year at work since everybody is trying to use up any extra insurance before the new year. Thank goodness we have some great neighbors/friends and family helping out. She had an ultrasound yesterday that shows the baby weighs 5 pounds 9 ounces give or take 10 oz. That was a relief to see the baby is that big already. He really wants to come out so we hope he will be patient and wait at least 10 days so that he will have a bit more mass and be after Christmas. We'll keep you updated.

I am glad to hear that she and the baby are doing ok. If he's going to come early, you might as well wish for under 10 days, so you can get a nice tax break! :)
I hope everything ends up alright. What a bummer to be on bedrest this time of year. Have a good Christmas!
