39 Week Appointment

(The one we weren’t supposed to make it to)

No real news today.  Everything is about the same.  We left Josiah at Mom’s with all his things went to this appointment with all of ours – just in case and since they’d been packed all week anyway.  Our OB had told us last week of someone she’d once sent straight to L&D for being in the same position I am, so we figured we may as well be prepared.  Today she asked if we wanted her to do anything to induce, but we said not as long is there is no risk to Elijah to wait for nature to take its course.  There is no rush since we aren’t even at 40 weeks yet and I feel good.  Jacob is a bit more anxious than me, but he’ll survive the anticipation.  He’s always been the master planner and king of the clock.

So, after some assurances that while this isn’t normal, it is safe, we headed for a nice child-free lunch at Red Lobster where I completely cleaned my plate to help gain back the pound I learned I lost this week!  (Also normal, no worries)
