On top of that...I've made pretty much NO progress over the last couple of weeks in the cervix/uterus/labor department. No dialation, no effacement, nothing. Booooo. :-(
I had a doctor's appointment yesterday afternoon, and the Dr. said he'd be 'astounded' if I went into labor over the next week or so...and, if he were to bet on it, I'll probably be a week or so late. Great. Thanks, Doc.
Ugh, I'm sorry for venting/whining, but, I'm at that point where I'm SO READY to meet my baby girl. Like, it literally hurts my heart to think about the fact that she's not here yet. And, it's especially frustrating when I feel like everyone around me is going into labor already...and half of those people are due AFTER me! xlkjsaofjaosifjweoij
I was explaining to my friend today....right now I feel the way I did in the weeks/months before I got engaged. I knew it was going to happen at some point, and I was SO excited I could cry...but, it literally felt like a dream. Like it was never going to happen. I would just sit there every day and imagine what it would be like; how he would propose, what my ring would look like, how I would feel...but I felt like it was a million years away, even though it could've happened at any point in time. I just didn't know when.
That's how I'm feeling now, and it's so exciting/frustrating at the same time. I hate not knowing if/when something is going to happen. Will my water break tonight? Will I still be here in 2 weeks with a baby in my belly? OR, will nothing happen at all over the next 3 weeks and I'll have to be induced?? Ahhhhh!! I'm driving myself crazy over here...if you couldn't tell.
Anyways...I just needed to let out my frustrations a bit. Thanks for listening, if you've made it through my rambling. ;-)
Here's my latest belly pic, taken yesterday, at 38 weeks 5 days:
If anyone would like to pass along some labor/delivery vibes, I'd be more than willing to take them!! :-) Thanks so much!

I'm sorry it's taking so long! :) I wish I had advice for you. You look great! Try and enjoy this time. Hugs!
You look great! I hope you go into labor soon! I can't believe you're due anytime now! :)
sending you lots of sprinkly, sparkly baby labor dust.. i know how you feel, mama. C never, EVER dropped.. continued to lay transverse right up until the end. he was wedged in there so tight- it made no sense to even induce. C-section it was! (truth be told, i wouldn't have had it any other way though, looking back!)
hoping that little one gets the memo and decides to come out VERY soon! hang in there, mama.. i know it's so tough at the end!
hugs!
I can't even imagine your frustration! I am sure you are just soooo ready to meat Isabelle! She'll be worth the wait, I'm sure of it! :)
Hang in there!
Aw hang in there momma! She'll be here soon enough let her take her time. I totally understand the feeling though when you related it to getting engaged. I have that waiting game right now.
Sending water breaking vibes your way lol.. That sounds weird.
Awww thinking about you E! I hope she gets here soon but comes when she's ready :) Sending good vibes your way
Trust me, I feel your pain. Keep telling yourself, you're not done yet. You need 40 weeks. Enjoy these last few day/weeks with her inside. You will miss the closeness. Its a special bond that only YOU share with her.
I'm so glad I'm not the only one feeling this way. I wish we were both holding our little misses! I feel like nothing is progressing and everyone who is due after me has already gone home with their babies!
Sending labor vibes your way!! :) xoxo
She will come with time, and it will be totally worth the wait.! I hope she comes super soon for you.!
Well, I'm there with you! I'm 32 weeks and super anxious!!! They say sex can help (prostaglandins in the sperm thins the cervix) but I'm sure that's the last thing on your mind b/c if you are as achy as me, you don't want to do anything but relax. And lots of walking and walking and walking helps. =) Let me know if you hear anything else! Good luck!!! I'm a nurse and fear that I will go into labor at work *lol* How embarrassing would that be to have my water break in a patients room *lol* hysterical!
The waiting is the hardest part!!! I hope that she is here before you know it...but these are long days! Soon they will just be a memory though!! Cant wait to "see" her!
Girl. Totally normal feelings! Been there.. felt that... i was at my wits end... and I know it sounds silly to the world, but like a couple weeks... even just a few days... seem like FOREVER away... and when they say you are FULL TERM... you're like wooohooo lets have this baby...nOW!
will be thinking of you! can't wait for "the post" when you announce!! :)
I feel your pain. I'm like 2 weeks behind you, but after having my shower this weekend I'm totally ready to hold my little one! Hopefully it happens quickly for you and you surprise your doctor by going this week :-)
P.S. You have like the perfect 'basketball' belly :-)
