I had a dr. Appointment yesterday, it was supposed to be the last one i scheduled but alas this little boy is proving to be more and more like his dad. They told me yesterday that i haven't progressed any and didn't tell me if i had effaced any more than the 40% i was last week. All they said is your still 1cm dilated and you thin but hard. It is possible to get less effaced? Then they hit me with the bomb. After last week and telling me for sure i would have by next week, they tell me this week that.... Well you might have it this week possibly next week. WHAT!!! are you kidding me. You have to be kidding right. Not getting my hopes up or something like that. So basically they are telling me its possible that i might not even have him until after his due date. Which wouldn't bother me nearly as much if they hadn't told me that i would probably have him early and that back in january he was measuring a little early, and now that i'm still gaining 2 lbs every week i can't imagine how much he is gaining. I just keep praying that if i have to wait two more weeks to have him that he only weighs like 5 or 6lbs right now.
On top of all of this i was so excited to have next week off of work. Today was supposed to be my last day for 2 months. well oh well i guess i get to come back here next week on the day to day basis again unless by some maricle he decides to drop quickly. Oh yeah that was the main thing during my painful internal exam where i felt like they were trying to reach for my tonsils when they were reaching for his head. they told me well he's still really high. NO.. no no no no no.....
I walked this week i walked quite a bit he's supposed to be dropping its not like i have a ton of places for him to go. Anyway i beleive that i'm starting or acutally more like am in full bore into that annoyed irritated pregnancy phase. Everything annoys me i can't drive without getting annoyed i can hardly have someone talk to me without getting some sort of irritated. Plus i started nesting this week now our apt is pretty much spotless. i shampooed carpets cleaned lamp shadesm, base boards etc... isn't that supposed to be a sign he is coming? oh well. the only joy that i have found that takes my mind off it right now is reading Twilight which i picked up yesterday on my way to the dr. office. I have already read about half of it and i'm afraid if things keep going like this i'll have the entire series done by next friday or earlier. anyway i'm done being frustrated for now. Sorry to vent just needed to get SOMETHING out. lol

you poor, miserable pregnant lady. You can't lay ALL of the blame for this little boy's attitude at his daddy's feet. Kurtis isn't his ONLY parent who tends to be a bit stubborn or like to do things their own way.
lol yeah i know but he's the one who likes to sleep the most and just stay inside. so its got to be him in no way could it ever possible be me :-)
Again...I think it should be outlawed for the dr to tell you when you may or may not deliver! You poor girl! I know how miserable you are...it hasn't been that long since I was there! I promise, your little one will come out...one way or another! Hang in there!
I feel for you! I was so miserable with Easton, and the doctors did the same thing... he'll probably come this week.. yeah righ! My only advice is stay as active as you can, and make Kurtis rub your feet. The nurses at the hospital said that is supposed to intensify your labor.... Good luck!
Doctors should NEVER tell someone they're going to have the baby this week - even if it's half way hanging out! I swear, that makes me so irritated. How the heck to they know when the baby's coming?
STatistics show that most 1st pregnancies go to or past the due date. You just have to keep that in mind. I know it's a downer, but your baby knows when he's coming, and it sounds like he's not ready yet. You've just made it much too comfy for him in there!
If you don't have one- go buy yourself a cheapy pilates ball and start sitting on it pretty much any time you'd normally be sitting in a chair or couch. The position is really helpful. Let's see- you're walking- go do some water aerobics if you have access to a pool. Have sex. That's always said to help! Oh, and what worked for me was having a 2 yr old climb up my belly to get to the top of the couch... so go babysit a kid and hopefully one of those will work!
Just remember the baby HAS to come soon... just ignore what the doctors told you. Focus on relaxing yourself and prepping for the baby, and maybe appologizing a lot for being crabby! ha ha! I'm pretty sure Dirk was scared of saying one word to me those last two weeks!
