Enough already

Hey Baby! Come out!

I just had my 39 week appt this afternoon and I really hope it's the last! I'm dilated to 3-4 cm already...poor baby, it's like I'm literally smushing it's head every time I sit down! Otherwise no contractions and no other signs of impending labor - boo. My doctor stripped my membranes again for good measure, but I suspect I'll just feel crampy tonight and then nothing else will happen. Oh well...I guess it will come when it's ready. I was really hoping this one would be a LITTLE early though! Apparently I just have a comfy tummy.

So, I made another appt for the 12th - my due date. Dr. L. said we could induce on the 16th if I go that long - cripes, I'm already halfway there. I was induced with Ava too (she was 3 days late and when we went in for the biophysical profile, they kept me as she wasn't moving enough). I was already dilated to 2 or 3 then too, so I had a really good experience and am definitely open to going that route again.

In other news, we took Ava bowling for the first time yesterday! (Gee, you'd think that would have induced labor, but no!). We had a really fun time - we cheated a little and helped push the ball down the alley on most of her turns, but she didn't care. Her favorite part might have been the hand drier. (And yes, Scot got her dressed - not me)





And I never posted our sledding pictures from Christmas Day - Ava and Scot both had a ton of fun (while I watched).
