I have been hesitating on posting about my appointment...
First, how can I have two children who are totally different? One early and one who doesn't want to leave any time soon.
I gained 0 lbs. this week, but I am still 0 cm dialated. I am EXTREMELY bummed and disappointed. After talking about what happened on Tuesday and her lecturing me about getting in the car again and based on my past pregnancy, no one thought that I would go this long. Never mind be 0 cm dialated and have not dropped at almost 39 weeks. The midwife reminded me again how my body can go from 0 to 10 cm in an hour and I need to be ready for that. I then kind of forced her to talk about what would happen if I made it to 40 weeks next Saturday. She said that at 40 weeks I will be given another sonogram to check to see how she is doing and then make a decision from there. She will not let me make it past 41 weeks. My comment to her (since my request to Josh was that I would not have any kids after I turn 30 and I turn 30 on the 15th) while trying to hold in tears was, but I will be 30. She then told me that she made the same the same comment to her husband and she also cut it close.
Sorry girls, I'm very emotional right now.

I am sorry you are not making any progress. I can imagine that it is very hard to deal with. The baby will likely be here before your birthday. Just think, she loves being this close to her mom she isn't ready to be shared right now.
*Dialating and labor dust* for you, I hope she comes soon for you.
I'm sorry
But, like you said, you can go from 0 to 10 in an hour. Dilation doesn't really mean much, so try not to focus on that. I know how hard that is, though.
*Labor dust* C'mon Ava, we're all ready to meet you!!
She'll come soon. I think those of us that had our first baby early get our hopes up that our second one will be the same and that usually doesn't happen.
And keep in mind that most 2nd time mom's don't drop until they go into labor. ::Labor Dust:: to you!
Oh no. I am sorry you didn't hear what you wanted to. But dialation is crap anyway, people walk around at 3 for weeks.
Ava! We want to meet you asap!
Oh honey, I'm sorry it was so disappointing.
She has 2 weeks before your birthday and hopefully that's going to be plenty of time for her to decide to make an appearance. Maybe she just need a little extra baking time. 
xoxox
Sorry to hear that there's little progress at this point. Things can change on a dime. Try not to let the birthday thing bother you. The only thing I wouldn't want is the same birthday as my little one but that's just so they can have their own birthday. I'm pouting in part because I'm having my first at 32 but in some ways I wouldn't have it any other way because I know there are things needed to do before I was ready to be a mom.
Sending you TONS of labor dust! GL!

Not to sound insensitive becauase this is obviously very important to you, but why do you not want to have kids after 30? I am sorry if you have already spoke about this on here, I must have missed it.
tons and tons of labor vibes!
It is because I never thought that I would actually have a second child. WIth Mya already being 10, I figured that the age difference is already large enough.
My oldest sister and I are 9 years apart and we are very close. She was like my second mother growing up. You would be very hard pressed to find a pic of us in our younger days where she is not holding me.
Now that we are older, it nice to have her as a reference. She has been married for over ten years and has three kids (12,9, and 6) and has great advice to give me on marriage and raising kids and just about life in general.
Ava will be very blessed to have someone guide her through life and show her the ropes!
I think this is one of those joys of motherhood. Ava make her entrance her own, and not borrow her big sister's routine. Maybe she is waiting for the 4th, so she gets the extra glitz and glam of parades and fireworks. You did drink Lisa's koolaid, and look at how Britt & Isabella like to perform.
