well the visit to the doctor last night was uneventful and i am still very much pregnant. the doctor says his guess is that i'm dilated somewhere between 1-2 cms (about a fingertip or so) and the baby is in a -3 station. (a station is where your baby is in relation to your pelvic bone. -5 is a floating baby, 0 is engaged in pelvis, +5 is crowning) i personally like to think that she is in at least a 0 station and that because she didn't like the dr poking and prodding around, she moved up a bit...but i'll admit, it's highly doubtful.
nonetheless, the dr tried to soothe my (and the husband's) obvious facial frustrations by saying that women can go into labor at any time during this stage of pregnancy and that the baby's station really is no indication as to whether i'll be having her tonight or 3 weeks from now. he then indicated that he would see me next week tuesday "if i haven't had the baby yet." at this point/statement in the appt, i wanted to chuck my shoe at him.
so here i am, officially 38 weeks and still pregnant. i'm not complaining so much as i am just being impatient but whatever. the husband keeps my spirits and hopes high and my mom keeps reminding me that God has a plan and that even though we are all being impatient and can't wait to meet her, she will come on her own time... when she's good and ready. in the meantime, we wait!
