12:30 midwife appointment with NST. With all the fluid and blood I've got going on I'm going to ask for either an internal or a BPP today. I'm just not comfortable playing the "sounds normal" game anymore without some kind of confirmation. Kind of expecting push back but I really hope they just say ok :-S

39 week appointment tonight. Not expecting any changes to anything with my cervical check and I'm sure the OB will be asking if I made my decision on how long to wait on an induction.

had my 39wk this am. baby is "right there" which explains why i feel like she is peeking out. i told dh that it feels like you are trying to blow a bubble gum bubble with your lips closed...like the bubble presses and opens your lips a bit but then goes back. unfortunately, my cervix is still posterior, so i am not ready yet! ugh!! 

after an good cry about how i truly feel like all of my pregnancy hormones are gushing out all at once, i feel a lot better. i have just had so much false labor that my hopes were so high and now i am a big whomp whomp of disappointment. oh well. baby has a plan of her own. *sigh* can't be pregnant forever, right? RIGHT?!

Had my 40 week check up today. Doctor thought for sure I would go early, but I guess not! I'm still 4cm dilated and her head is very low, but not engaged, whatever that means. Doctor sent me for an NST, bio physical ultrasound and weight test. They are estimating she's 7 lbs 13 oz and she passed all her tests so they sent me home to wait and see what happens. Next appt is Thursday.

Just had 39 week appt. 2cm dilated from nothing on wed. With some effacement. Finally some progress! Dr impressed with contractions on NST and doubts I will make next appt. calling with induction dates this afternoon just in case though

Appointment went as expected. Baby is really low and in position, I'm measuring quite large, my BP is slowly creeping up (though still in the "it's fine considering you are overweight and at the end of pregnancy" range cording to my dr) and my cervix has done nothing but chill out.

We discussed if I wanted to go to 41, but considering the possibility of him being a very large baby and how much pain I'm in and how strained my mental state is getting we decided to shoot for going in Sunday night and having a baby Monday (would be 40+2). I'l hear back about that from the hospital tomorrow. I feel bad for potentially not letting him go until he is ready, but I think it is for the best.
