Well, the due date came and went. Nothing happening. I guess that is to be expected. Now we are two days overdue, and growing frustrated. What's the statistic? Only 4-5% of all births occur on the due date. I never expected that it would happen right on the day, but it is disappointing for both of us for the day to pass. I'm growing (no pun intended) more and more uncomfortable. My demeanor has definitely taken a turn. I can only maintain a cheerful disposition for so long anymore. Hopefully, he will be here soon!
We had a doctor's appointment yesterday, Thursday. I'm measuring at 38.5 weeks, 50% effaced, and a fingertip dialated. Looks like he's going to take his time joining us on the outside. I go back on Monday to see if there is any progression. They will induce on March 2, if nothing has happened by then. We have now started with the old wives' tales to make this happen. Last night I powered through some of the spiciest food I have ever had. Unfortunately, all that did was give me heartburn. We're trying anything to get this kid moving. He's much too comfortable.
In the meantime, we are going to enjoy the last of the free time we have! Stay tuned...
