38 Week Update

Saw Dr. Marter - who delivered Fin - this morning for my 38 week appt. Baby was measuring right on, great heart rate and my BP etc was great. He asked if I wanted him to check me and I agreed. Although I was totally bummed to hear that I was making no progress last week, this week I was fully effaced and 3 cms dialated. Whee! He told me he'd be on duty all weekend and "would love to deliver this baby for me" so I told him to go ahead and um, help things along.

I came home full of hope that SOMETHING would happen soon - but so far no dice! I was hoping to start contracting tonight and have this little guy by tomorrow, but I don't think that's in the cards. I wouldn't be surprised to go another week at this rate, but at the same time at least I know I'm making SOME progress so that's reassuring...

Hi maggie,
I aam praying for you and all especially the baby. Hope he comes soon. Will be waiting to hear how Dash handles all.

You should hold Tre back a year in school. Otherwise he will be the last in his class to get a driver's license and last in his class to throw away his fake ID... I mean, last in his class to turn 21.

Well the thing is that in CA the cutoff for school is Dec 1...Fin's birthday... SO, not so much making a difference with this dude! I'm thinking now I'm going to hold Fin back, but then do I have Dash right behind him or hold Dash back too? And then if I hold Dash back, this dude would be a year behind him...
