Today we had our 39 week prenatal appointment. I think they were surprised to see me at this appointment. We all thought the baby would have arrived by now but I don't think this one is in any hurry. I still have not progressed from the week before but I know that does not mean anything. The doctor did go ahead and stripped my membranes (sorry if that is too much info) to see if that would help move things along. She said if it is going to do anything it would happen in 24 hours. Well so far nothing is happening. It only works 50% of the time and with my luck I will be in the half that it does not work for. So we went ahead and talked about inducing. Not my first choice but I will take it. We are thinking next Tuesday, 9/7 but I am still waiting to hear if they were able to schedule me that day or not. I really hope it does not come to that point. I would much rather have things be natural, especially since I do not want drugs. For now we will let the waiting game continue.

I thought for sure you'd already have a new little girl! I was induced 3 weeks early with Caelyn and I was very worried, cried about it, and even walked everywhere trying to get her to come out. Of course everything was just fine! I know you are super excited to meet your little girl! Enjoy!
Oh the waiting is so hard! Hang in there!
This baby will be ready when she's ready. Just give her time to "bake". ;) I do keep checking your blog to see if she is here! :)
Come on Baby Solomon!!! We can't wait to meet you and hear your name :)
a friend asked me when i was 39 weeks and 6 days if my pregnancy ticker on the side of the blog would explode at 40 weeks and 1 day... I said "no, but i will!"
