Week 39 and yes, still pregnant

Today was the week 39 doctor visit. Today she noted Kristen was 2cm and 80% for effacement. Once again the doctor tried the rough exam tactic in the hope it would accelerate the start of labor. The staff at the doctor's office empathize with Kristen regarding her ever- puffier hands and feet & hope Baby makes the debut soon.

Kristen will see the doctor one more time on Dec. 28--Baby's actual due date. She is still scheduled to be induced on December 30.

At this point, Kristen is looking forward to Christmas & day-after-Christmas shopping since Baby is apparently in no hurry to leave Mommy's warm & comfy belly!
