I had my 38 week appointment this morning. I was really hoping that some progress had been made because we have been doing quite a bit to get things moving, but nothing has changed since last week. I'm still only 1 cm dilated and she didn't tell me how effaced, but last week I was 50%. I didn't even care to ask I was so bummed. I cried all the way home. I know I still have two weeks until my due date, but a little progress would have made my day. Is that too much to ask for?

The rest of the appointment was fine. My GBS came back negative. I haven't gained any weight since last Friday. The baby was good.. heart beat in the 140's. She said she will most likely see me next week for my appointment which I figured after finding out there was no progress.

My mom is a happy camper. She is planning on coming home from Florida on the 23rd and staying for 2 weeks. She wants to be here before I go into labor, if at all possible, so I'm working against my mom and God (because she has been praying a lot that she makes it home in time).

How funny is this? I just went back to October 2006 to see how my 38 week appointment went with Gabby and it sounds pretty darn similar to my appointment today. Check it out:

Jeremy and I went to my 38 week appointment at the OB doctor today. NOTHING is happening. Not a damn thing. He said that she is really low and that once things do start to happen it should go quickly, but that doesn't help me NOW. He said he doesn't see me having this baby anytime in the next week so they'll probably see me at my appointment next Thursday. That didn't make me happy AT ALL. He even suggested that we try "natural induction methods" at home. Not that we haven't done that already!
