Well...
We had our Dr. appointment and absolutely nothing has changed. I'm pretty sure I've got a confused cervix. The baby is fine- heartrate is completely fine, I'm measuring 39 cm still, even though I'm over 40 weeks now. She even felt the baby at length & still says we're looking at a very average-sized boy. I did have her strip my membranes & holy moly did I NOT know what I was asking for!!! Anyone who has had this done can relate. She prepared me that it may hurt more than a "normal" overdue mommy since I am absolutely not dilated at all... she was right. WOW was it horrible!!
Anyway- medically, there's no reason to rush into a c-section. However, we're looking at the next week or so & trying to figure out if we really want to wait. After 9+ months, we're ready to see the face of our little one. I talk to our Dr. who is the surgeon tomorrow morning & we'll make some decisions then. Please pray for clarity of what I should do. I go back & forth. It would've been nice to have had some sort of progress to help with making the decision to wait- but that's just not happening. Here's a recent picture of me, this was taken 2 hours ago. Yes, still all baby :) Thanks for all the advice and the prayers. We'll keep you posted!

Oh, sweetheart!! You look like you are gonna pop! But you also look healthy and happy! You and Matt are such good parents, and you both have very good instincts. Trust them, trust your doctors, and trust God with your big decision. You will do whatever is right for you, baby. Nobody else's opinion matters much right now - this is your journey. Enjoy it!!!!!
Love,
Rhonda
I heard that the stripping helps too. I'm wishing you luck and hoping for a baby soon!!! :)
Holy Moly girl! That sure is a belly!!! I hope you get to meet your little man soon.
You are beautiful, lovely and a very special gift to all of us. You are a wonderful mommy and are taking excellent care of all of your boys. God has His plan and it is perfect as you and I both know in spite of our discouragement. I love you and keep you constantly in my prayers along with our new little guy. Love you,
Mom
