39 Weeks

Well, yesterday we went in for our appointment and the progress was . . . dilated to a two and 75% effaced. If that's sounding vaguely familiar to anybody it's because that's the same as last week. The very same as seven days ago. What this means is that the baby has been sitting around doing absolutely nothing for an entire week. Seriously? Get a move on, kid.

The official due date is exactly one week and I was kind of hoping he'd be a few days early. (My original wish was that he'd be a week or two early but we missed that boat.) Now I'm beginning to wonder if he will ever come at all. We have a Halloween party with Blake's family coming up and we already had a great idea for costumes but like I was telling Blake, I'm not sure we'll make it to the party if the kid is only a few days old. (I'm being a little bit dramatic. The party isn't until the 28th, but still, my friend just had a baby and she was ten days late. Ten days puts us on the 22nd which makes the baby six days old for the party . . .) we'll see what happens I guess.
