40+ weeks

Again, still no baby… We had a doctor’s appointment today and while all continues to look good with the baby, our doctor was really surprised that Julie hasn’t gone into labor yet. For those that know the medical jargon, Julie is 2-3 cm dilated, almost 100% effaced and the baby’s head is at a negative 1. Needless to say, Julie’s body is ready. We are just waiting for the contractions to progress. The doctor did schedule Julie to be induced next Monday (2/11). Unfortunately she’s out of town until Monday so we have to wait 6 days and if Julie has the baby this week she won’t be there to deliver. The good thing is that this will give us a little more time to hopefully have labor start naturally – which we are crossing our fingers will happen any minute/day.

Below is a picture of Julie at over 40 weeks – this is what being REALLY pregnant and really uncomfortable looks like.
