Your kidding!

So yesterday I went to what I hope to be my second to last Dr.'s appt. I was sure after last Sunday I would be dialated more than 1 from the week before. Nope, and I haven't even dropped yet. Such thoroughly disappointing news, especially when your doctor says "right now your baby is looking about 8 1/2-9 pounds". Are you kidding me??? I very much hope this was in reference to when the baby is born and not now. My mom says that it doesn't matter how big the baby is as long as you have an epideral-easy for her to say. She never had kids bigger than 7 1/2 pounds at 1-2 weeks late. This must be from Joseph's side.
