Jackson Dalton .... ETA March 24, 2009

4 comments Posted by Jay and Jamie Dalton at 9:05 AM

I went to see my doctor on Tuesday for my weekly appointment, and I haven't dilated at all. Due to some previous health issues, I have scar tissue that may keep me from dilating on my own. She was concerned to let me keep going on my own, size of the baby, and the fact my blood pressure was a little elevated yesterday. I have to check myself in on Monday night after 5:00 PM at Waccamaw Hospital, and they will administer a medication called Cervidil. If that causes my cervix to thin out and dilate, they will start pitocin on Tuesday morning, and hopefully, Jackson will arrive shortly thereafter. If the Cervidil doesn't work, Dr. Richmond is considering a c-section.

Please be praying that it is a short, easy delivery. I just want Jackson to be completely healthy, and for everything to go smoothly.

Jackson has really plumped up. He weighs about 6.8 pounds and he's over 19 1/2 inches long (like a leek). He has a firm grasp, which we'll soon be able to test when we hold his hand for the first time! His organs have matured and are ready for life outside the womb.

Jackson is officially full term! This means that if he arrives now, his lungs should be fully mature and ready to adjust to life outside the womb, even though my due date is still three weeks away. He weighs 6 1/3 pounds and measures a bit over 19 inches, head to heel (like a stalk of Swiss chard).

Jackson is still packing on the pounds — at the rate of about an ounce a day. He now weighs almost 6 pounds (like a crenshaw melon) and is more than 18 1/2 inches long.
