Antsy at 39 weeks!

Yes...still pregnant, still feel good, and still thinking baby girl is comfortable right where she is at!

I guess if I am still pregnant at 39 weeks I should be thankful that I am not in a lot of pain or discomfort, and I am very thankful for that! I am just antsy now...Antsy to:
- lay in a recliner and not have to "prop" by belly
- sleep in a flat bed
- sleep in the same bed as my husband
- see our baby
- share in the next stage of our lives
- begin shedding some pounds and working towards getting in my old clothes again
- actually use the baby room after preparing it for the past 5 months
- go to the bathroom like a normal person instead of 15x a day
- lose the "front bumper" and stop running in to things

You know, all of those simple things :)

I had my 39 week appointment last Friday. My doctor is definitely not gaining brownie points.
The good: I am almost dilated to 1. When she said that I told her "just stretch it to make it a 1" and she goes "I kind of am." Great!

The bad: I asked her when she would schedule an induction. She said that we were going to wait for this week's appointment (on Friday afternoon) and see where I am at. If I am still not dilating then she wants to wait another week.. (yes that means..wait until my 41 week appointment to schedule it). I told her I wasn't sure that I liked that but I also understand that by forcing my body to do something it isn't ready isn't going to be a walk in the park and may not be the best environment for the baby. So I guess I just have to "wait and see."

She also asked me if I had questions about labor, birth, or pain meds. I told her "no" because I don't. I am excited for birth and know it will hurt but there isn't much I can do at this point. Yet, I told her I did want to have pain meds. Her response was, "Well we will let you be in pain for a while, to make sure that you are in labor." I just said that was fine but what I wanted to say was, "Um, and you won't even be there until I am ready to deliver, so you probably won't have much say in the situation."

In conclusion, she has to come out in the next couple weeks whether she wants to or not. I should just try and focus on that :)

Other than that- Corey and I have not been up to much of anything. For the past couple Fridays we have went to Hutch and visited with his parents (for something to do). This past Saturday, we went to Ogilvie to watch racing. It was fun to be a spectator and not have to worry about getting the car ready, checking the line-up, or having to do all the running back and forth. We didn't make plans for next week-end either..since we hope(d) to have a baby..but who knows what will end up happening!
