40 weeks & Baby Appointment Details

Here I am, I made it. Did I think I'd last this long? Hell no. I've been feeling like a beached whale. I can't sleep because I get so much pain, but none of the good labor pain. Not that the pain is good, but it's purpose is wonderful. So, I went into this appointment with some hope that I had progressed some. Well, I did, a whole whopping 1 centimeter. Sigh. Since she wanted me to be at least two, the midwife couldn't sweep my membranes to assist me. She scheduled me in for Wednesday to check me and try again. Then Friday (I'll be 41 weeks and 1 day) I will go to the hospital and they will check me and schedule induction. I seriously hope that all of this can be avoided and that Trevor decides to come soon without any intervention. Come on, Trev! So, I leave you with my 40 weeks stats.
