So, on the SPD front, I got frustrated with the physical therapist and quit.  She was nice and cool and all, but didn't seem to know how to help.  I kept getting the feeling like she was totally winging it.  So I've been seeing a chiropractor who seems confident that he knows what he's doing, which I guess is a good sign.  I can't tell if it's

Were you having contractions (other than BH) before your water broke?
I'm 37w 2d today, but I think Danica still has some more cooking to do. At my midwife appointment last week, she guesstimated that Danica's about 5 pounds and will be about 7 at birth (after I told her I didn't want to know her estimate... but oh well).

I'm afraid that I'm not going to feel my contractions either. Of course, now that I've said that, karma will probably bite me in the ass and I'll have the worst contractions possible!
I've been convinced (for various reasons) that I'm going to pop out a big baby, so I told my midwife that I don't want to know her estimate of fetal size since having a potentially large-ish number in the back of my head while I'm in labor isn't going to be helpful for me. So I guess I'm not too upset that she told me anyway, since her prediction is only in the 7 pound range, even though I know it's likely to be wildly inaccurate.
One thing I am betting on though is that she will be long! At our 20w ultrasound, her arms & legs were measuring a week ahead of schedule, and my fundal height was a couple centimeters ahead of schedule at the last visit, even though she only "feels like" a 5 pound baby at this point. I'm average height, as are both of my parents, but sperm donor is 6'3".

I wonder if he'll stay tall as he grows. I think it'd be really cool if we have a taller daughter, as Sheila is relatively tall (5'9") for a woman, and I get excited about the ways in which Sprout might wind up resembling her even though they aren't biologically related. Sheila and sperm donor both have dark eyes & hair as well, so I'm guessing that will probably win out over my recessive blue eyes.
