Ready and Waiting

I have had few people ask about baby updates. I had my 38 week appointment yesterday. Everything looked good. The baby is measuring to be about 6 lbs 10 oz. Of course that is just an estimate. I am now officially dilated to a 2 but not softened at all. I had previously ask my midwife about inducing and we had talked about next Thursday, April 2nd. He said that by next week if nothing changes he would not even think about inducing at this point. There needs to be some softening as well as dilation. The baby's head is pretty far up there. He said that if we induced at this point we would make it a lot harder on me and the baby. And it would increase my chances of needing a C-section if the baby had a hard time. As anxious as I am to not be pregnant anymore and meet Devin I don't want to do anything that will make it harder than it needs to be. So at this point I have an appointment next Tuesday and we will see how things are progressing then. I guess it should come as no surprise that this baby will come when he is ready and not a moment before. We should be use to be patient. We have waited a long time for him. Right now I will be content to have some time to still prepare and get to sleep through the night except for the occasional visit to the bathroom.
