Pic's at 7 days late

Ok here are a few pic's The one of me in blue is today officially 7 days late.

The other is of me laughing at my belly and my silly baby that doesn't want to come out.

Soon, is a relative term!

Ok for those of you that still think i'm going to have this baby soon, you'll have to let me know what that means! here i am at 41 weeks, still no regular contractions, or action happening, so mother nature/stubborn baby is going to get a little help, we're hoping an induction tomorrow will bring us a baby instead of just an ever growing belly! Oddly enough tomorrow is also our exact 2nd anniversary, and 3 of our friends/family's birthdays. I'm hoping combined with the drugs that they'll be pumping through me these things will bring us luck and baby!

Sorry no pic, it seems i'm stuck at home today with no purse, I left it in my car that chris has in detroit today, so even though its my last day of freedom i'm locked pretty much in the house! I guess i'm getting forced into that "nesting"thing that everyone gets before they go into labor! Funny how things work out! I'll get artificial labor, and artificial nesting! As long as we get a real baby we'll be happy!

Alleged due date

So at my Dr's appointment this morning we saw no progress. He said I was not dialated at all, but after he was done performing a slightly painful procedure I am now dialated to 1cm. So the hope is that if what he did today does anything i'll see some kind of action with in 24 hours if not. I don't get to go back in until friday at which time they will give me something to soften me up which will hopefully do SOMETHING if not i get to schedule an induction date for NEXT week!

Crazy crazy but that is where we're at as of today. I'll try to keep you all posted of any kind of progress, till then i'll be walking as much as possible to have gravity help me encourage baby Carnell to come out and say hello!

I'm hoping is see something happen soon but as of now 7 hours after i left the dr.'s office i still don't feel much happening. Thanks ahead of time for all of your positive thoughts, send them all my way!

39 weeks no action

I'm afraid my Dr's appointment produced no progress, i was verrrrry sad when he told me that I'm not dialated at all!! I was so hoping to have this baby ASAP so that chris could be here with baby for as long as possible! He's here for good until baby arrives and plans to take a week off after baby is born but is here for sure until the end of the week of the 16th so if I have the baby now he'll be in town straight for 2 weeks - better than one! Anyway I'm sure every prego wants to have the baby sooner rather. But i'm deffinatly ready, i even had a pedicure today (thanks Joc) so every bit of me is ready! Except of course the part that dialates and delivers the baby apparently! Too bad i hear that is the important part! :-)

I'm trying to keep busy and walk lots as my Dr. tells me he can't say it will help but it deffinatly won't hurt! Next appointment is next monday first thing that i hopfully won't make it too so cross your fingers for me!

38 weeks

Here I am at 38 weeks, well today my blog says 12 days to go! So that means baby can arive anytime after friday at 4pm. When chris fly's in!! We drove up to Michigan on friday and had a great weekend working around the house and visiting with family and friends! Its nice to see people again! We even had a fire on sunday night with Mom and Lee and our Neighbors which was mostly relaxing, (those older neighbors can talk your ear off).

Anyway i'm feeling good, i got a prenatal massage done today and it was wonderful! Thanks Aunt Sharon! You never know how sore you are until someone finds ALL the knots in your body! Mom and i also made cookies today which was fun and yummy! That must be why my belly looks extrodenarily large today!

Anyway my Dr. said on monday said that the head is still down, which was even confirmed by a last minute ultra sound, since she couldn't tell by examing me if it was the head. The Dr. said this was because it hasn't dropped yet which at 38 weeks it usually has. I'm not dialated or "thinned" at all yet so she said she will deffinatly see me next week for my appointment, which is good news. For some reason I've been confidently planning to have this baby the week of the 9th! Maybe a bit to0 optimistics, but watch out i'll be walking my tush off starting friday to help convice the baby to come out!
