38 week appt today and I am only at 1cm - at least it's a whole cm this time.
There is an Italian restaurant in my area that has become known for it's Eggplant Parmesan inducing labor within 24-48 hours. Since I am just so impatient with this child, DH has agreed to take me out for eggplant, most likely followed by a more intimate supposed labor inducer. I am just so ready to meet my little guy!

I have my doubts about whether it will work at this stage (I seem to remember one article saying that all the women were within a few days of their due dates), but the restaurant is Pitrelli's in Mason.
Actually when DH's cousin was looking for a labor-inducer, I mentioned the place. My MIL remembered us talking about it and bought us gift certificates from restaurant.com for Christmas! She's an enabler!
No rush here, right now. I desperately want him to keep put until 37 weeks. I had preterm labor that they stopped, twice, with DS. But after 38 weeeks, their lungs are matured and I think it's fun to try natural ways of induction to get them out. :-)

I'm not necessarily in a rush either. I am totally cool if he wants to stay in there and continue to bake. I am just getting so anxious to meet him. And DH keeps telling me how unfair it is that I get to spend so much time with the baby and he wants him to come out soon!
This. Two weeks in the grand scheme of things isn't that long. A little extra time is good for baby. He'll come when he's ready.
