We saw our midwife, Susan, on Monday. No change from last week - 0cm dilated, 50% effaced and "buttery" soft. We have an appointment Friday for a nonstress test and ultrasound. They'll hook me up to a monitor and listen to the baby's heartbeat for about 20 minutes to make sure it's strong, then take a look at him on ultrasound to make sure he's growing right. I really hope we don't make it that far, even if it is just 1 week past our due date. Susan is off Thurs - Sunday so we're hoping for something during that time - or SOONER! Maybe we'll head out tomorrow night for some eggplant parmesan...
The baby was less active during the last week and I was sleeping poorly over the weekend, but today he's been moving around pretty much all day and I slept like a log last night....good signs? I really want to believe things are moving along, but I also don't want to get my hopes up, so I'm trying to ignore everything. I've been knitting like a fiend and tomorrow I'll be sewing; two perfect baby-waiting distractions. I can't imagine being home with no hobbies! I couldn't go back to work either though - I'm having a tough time moving and having to sit at a desk all day was terrible for my body.
Tripp and I are both trying to "go with the flow" but we're getting a little impatient. He must be really happy in there!
