Well, my due date is Monday... I went to the doctor yesterday (a week from my due date) and it didn't look very hopeful that little Ambrose would be coming anytime soon. If you don't like reading womanly details then stop here- it's not graphic at all- but some people are funny about this sort of thing. Anyway, my cervix is slightly softer, but not nearly as it should be for a birth that is supposed to be happening any day now. It is apparently quite firm, so much so that she asked me if I had ever had any type of freezing surgery on it... whatever that means. The good news is that his head is far down and he has been in position for quite some time... it's just the rest of me that is being stubborn about catching up. So, I will almost certainly be late and if it goes a couple days over she is going to induce. She can't induce too soon though, because of the state of my cervix. I would apparently be at a high risk of having a C-section if it's too soon. So, I am just hanging out, feeling too huge, my large pants are starting to be tight, my face and feet are beyond my recognition, I don't sleep well at all, let's see what else can I complain about?? I guess I am just REALLY ready to have this BOY! The suspense is killing me and I want to get the labor and delivery OVER WITH already. Well, that's all I'll say for now. I guess instead of shooting for the 12th... I'll think happy thoughts about the 17th and then be excited if he comes any earlier.

I am so excited for you! Just think, you have waited 9 months so you can wait just a little longer. I hope all goes well with the delivery when the time comes. Keep me posted! Love Ya!
You can make it Steph. I would just watch a lot of TV and eat a lot of good foods.
I hate the last few weeks!!
I am holding good thoughts for you. Enjoy your sleep, and uninterupted eating, and your quiet night with Thomas...
Come on Amberose!!!
He is just trying to wait until the 1st when I come.
I already told him to forget about such crazy notions. We had a good laugh about it. He said he will see you when you come no matter what.
yowza friend, that's certainly frustrating. maybe he wants to be born in idaho? just think about it...
OR maybe you should focus on having the baby. Either way, I hope he comes at a healthy, but soon time for you!
ambrose is a pretty witty wee little thing, isn't he? glad to hear it, didn't expect anything less.
Ohhh, I keep checking and still no action. I can't wait until the big announcement. Just lay around as much as you can. Relax. And good luck.
i'll be your personal on call nurse during this time when you technically don't need a medical nurse. what i mean is, if you call me any time to bring you pizza, i'll bring you pizza. if you want to walk around laie a million times, i'll walk with you. and if you need someone to rub your feet---well you get the idea.
the point is. give me on up a call.
diana, you're such a good friend.
