No News!

So at my 38 week appt. today my doctor said, and I quote "the baby is way up there in Ogden!" and I am not thinning or dialated at all. Zero, zippo! All this extra walking hasn't done the trick so far, but I'm not giving up. I hate to admit that the less promising I look the more enticing my scheduled c-section next week is looking because my doctor reminded me today that he won't induce me because of the previous section, and if I do go into labor they will give me less time than before to get progressing before they would do a section just because it's too risky. Either way I am just happy to know that I won't be pregnant too much longer, and this is so weird to say but I want to have the baby so I can sleep again. I know it's usually the opposite but I am so uncomfortable at night and have to go to the bathroom every couple of hours I feel like I am on a new baby schedule almost. That said, I'm excited for the surprises the next few weeks hold in store for our family.

2 days before I had Stella I was in your same boat--way up there and my doctor told me I was "closed for business". Like you, having the baby here is better than being pregnant!

Good luck and hopefully all goes well (and quickly)!

Amen to the wanting sleep and not having to pee every 1.5 hours. Good luck with everything and be sure to post pictures soon. So exciting!
