I have been trying to keep busy the last few days. I'm really not very patient when it comes to waiting for a baby to be born. For some reason I think they will magically come early and so I anticipate every moment. All my babies wait until 40 weeks. Jakob was born a day before his due date and Molly was spot on.....so.....I guess I'm in it for another two weeks.
I had my 38 week appointment yesterday and I left the office a little disappointed. It was a long 15 minute wait for the doctor and she wasn't exactly jubilant and chipper to see me. It must have been a long day. At any rate, she checked and I'm still dilated at 2 cm, about 50% effaced. Unfortunately she wasn't about to let me speed things along either. I asked for a membrane sweep but was shot down pretty coldly. I get to wait another week for things to speed up on their own. (which I may or may not be doing with evening primrose oil....and lavendar. Shhhh. don't tell)
Maybe I'm being selfish. I don't know.
How many women love being pregnant the last three weeks anyway? It's really uncomfortable and exhausting. Ugh.
On a lighter note. Here's what we've been doing the last couple of weeks while waiting for baby!
