Will She Ever Be Here???

I am STILL pregnant. I can't even believe it. Here I thought I was going to have a 3 week old baby by now and she is still baking away in my oven. I can't quite figure it out and to tell you the truth I am kind of tired of contemplating why she is still in there. Obviously she must be really comfortable but let's be honest, how comfortable can you really be standing on your head day in and day out.

There haven't been many changes. I am still all swelled up like a balloon and my belly couldn't possibly get much bigger without spliting right down the middle. At my doctor's appointment last week I was advised that my cervix hadn't changed much but the baby seemed to drop a bit more. Any farther and she may just drop right on out. She is so low now that sometimes I swear I can feel her move in the top of my thighs. Totally impossible I know but it is a serious case of phantom baby movement.

Last Saturday I lost my mucous plug. And yes, it is equally as disgusting as it sounds. I thought it was a promising sign and I instantly Googled what it meant. Not much really...I could go into labor within a day or within a few weeks. So, it really didn't get me anywhere. I have had lots of contractions throughout the course of each day but nothing close enough together and they always seem to stop after I get up and move around. So, the wait continues. I have a doctor appointment tomorrow evening and I am hoping some of these contractions have made progress on my dialation but I am not going to get my hopes up. Depending on how everything goes we will probably schedule me to be induced next week. But, it all depends on how far I have progressed because they would like to avoid giving me a C-section and frankly I would really like to avoid that too. So fingers are crossed and prayers are plentiful that any day she will come in her own time as God planned it.
