5 days to go

Over the next 3 days, the last of the vernix (the creamy protective substance on the surface of Adelyn's skin) will begin to disappear. The sutures or spaces between the bony plates of Addie's skull are called fontanels, which mean "little fountains," because the pulse of her bloodstream can be easily felt by touching them. The best known of the fontanels is the "soft spot" on the top of baby's head.

Mommy is continuing to walk for exercise and practice her breathing and relaxation exercises. Our appointment today revealed that Amy is 3cm dilated, 50% effaced and Adelyn is in a head-down position.
