It's true...I'm still very pregnant. BELIEVE ME...I WILL SHOUT IT FROM THE ROOFTOPS WHEN I GET TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL! You, my friends, will know. Went to the doctor yesterday...90% effaced, 2 cm dilated. Just as "my eyes started to get a little bit of wet in them" (quote from Junie B. Jones), my doctor reassured me that most first time moms go into labor not dilated at all...so somehow I'm still ahead of the game. (?) Interesting. Not feeling ahead at this point. So my next question was how long will you let me go past my due date. He said he doesn't like to let moms go past 41 weeks....so practicing my old trusty speaker/listener technique I learned in our premarital class, I proceed to say, "so what I'm hearing you say is that I could still be pregs for 2 more weeks?" Yes, Lindsay, you heard me correctly. Wow. Thankfully the doctor and nurse exit stage left and leave me for some much needed time to myself. Sheesh, what a doozie. Any tips to get this ball rollin'? What worked for you?
