We had our week 39 doctors appointment today and found out that there has been NO CHANGE since last week. This is quite frustrating as I was hoping that i would be dilated at least a few more cm. I know that this is not uncommon, especially with first babies which we have been told often have a tendency to come late, but I was hoping that our little guy would be ready to come and meet us now! :) So we continue to wait and the anticipation builds. We pretty much have everything ready for his arrival. The car seat is installed in the car, we have a safe place for him to sleep when he comes home, he has plenty of clothes washed and ready to be worn, we have our bags packed and ready to go, and his parents and other family members are filled with love to throw at him. There are a few things around the house that I would like to get done before he comes, which I guess we have time to do now. Our doctor leaves on her vacation tomorrow and she has scheduled us for a NST (non-stress test) and ultrasound for next week while she is gone to make sure that everything is still going well and it's still safe for him to be inside. If he hasn't come and everything is found to be well at that appointment then we will have our next appointment with our doctor when she returns from her vacation on September 1st. At that time we will talk induction. I hope it doesn't come to that but he's going to have to come out!
Prayers for patience and continued health and safety are greatly appreciated.
