39 and holdin?

Yes my friends, still no baby! I apologize for not posting yesterday, but I've been really tied up with trying to finish out school a week early. I've pulled some long nights this week to try and get things done, but teaching is much like being a mother. There is always something to do and when you close one door, another opens. I don't think I've ever heard a teacher say I have all my grades done, all paperwork is caught up and I have nothing to grade...think I'll go sip margaritas by the pool. I know my teacher friends say we are going to do better next 6 weeks, but it never happens.

The doc said "still a 2!" da-da-dum-dum! Friday the 29th I will be 39 weeks, still a 2 and not thinned enough to even give it a percent. Some have asked what I did with the other two? Well, with B, I was effacing (spelling of that?) a lot (I think I got to 80 or 90%), but I stayed a 1 cm for 4 weeks. Until I went to my 40 week check up and I was leaking amniotic fluid. She booked me that day and I had him at 6:45 that night. With A...I think my effacing was a little slower (60-70%), but I am certain I dilated to a 2. At that 39 week check up she asked if I wanted to induce and I thought "why the hell not?" So, the point being that none of the 3 have been similar at all. However, this week when she asked if I wanted to induce I said no. I'm sure some or most think I am crazy, but I just couldn't schedule the birth of this child. I have way too much going on right now with work. Plus I am looking forward to a few days off next week of peace and quiet. This way if my water breaks (yea, right) at home, at least I'll be ready to go. Also, next week Tuesday is B's cavity removal party with the dentist. I want to be able to be there for him and make sure he is well taken care of before I have the baby.

I am back at the doctor next week Wednesday at 9 AM. We'll see what happens then.
