Q: 39 Weeks! Docs Appt!

Well girls im 39 weeks today! Smile .. . Nothing exciting tho.. About the docs anyhow. I went there. Im only dialated 1 cm!! Mad but he said I am soo thinned, he said im 80% thinned out and the baby dropped even more then b4 and was sittin right there waiting to come out. He says he thinks I will go before my induce date for sure(most of u know, this thursday) but who knows, he also didnt think I would make it through the week and I did. This morning I had some more contractions that were painful (crampy) like 15-20 min apart.. But they stopped and I havent had em anymore today, only some sparatic ones but not close at all or anything. So I am just planning on going on thursday, and if I go before then good* I didnt gain any weight, I once again maintained but my belly has still grown!. I will post belly pics either today or tomorrow (if I feel like taking em today, otherwise I will take em tomorrow) but these will prolly be my last ones Smile also, this better not happen , but on the bottom of my appt sheet for my inducing it says if their too busy I will have to reschedule so to call an hour b4..I doubt that will happen , I hope not, i'd be sooo mad!!

I am getting excited! Today I went and saw my friend katy at the hospital (we just became friends again a few weeks ago after not talking in forever) anyhow, she just had her baby boy last nite! 2 1/2 weeks late! And he only weighed 7lbs 12 oz. I was thinking maybe they had her due date wrong because she didnt get many ultrasounds because she had a mid-wife. Anyhow.. He was so beautiful! And so quiet! I held him and he seemed so tiny to me~ hhaha she wasnt embarrased at all, she had her boob wipped out in front of everyone to feed him. I think I mite be a bit shy for that lol. But anyhow, seeing him and holding him only less then a day after he was born was amazing.. Ive never held a newborn that young! It made me even more excited.. And scared!
