39 weeks and 3 days pregnant

I am at 2cm and 80% ephased!! Last week I was 1cm and 50%; the week before 1cm and 30%, so progress!!! He "stripped my membranes" today, so hopefully that will get something going. If I make it to Sunday (EDD), the hospital will call me to set up a few tests like monitoring the fluid and heartbeat. If all is good we keep waiting.

I have another doc visit scheduled for next Wednesday if needed. Then, if we are still waiting, I can get induced on 1/30, when I reach 41 weeks. I guess an induction before 41 weeks is considered elective (if there is no other reason),and so a non priority and thus hard to schedule, so doc advises against it.

This is all new to us even though it is baby #2! Shaun being 9 days early has gotten our hopes up and making this time seem to take forever!

We are praying for baby to come soon and on his own!

Thanks for the update - we were all wondering how you were doing when you didn't show up for playgroup on Wednesday...Yamini checked Facebook and we had a debate over whether you hadn't posted anything because you were still pregnant, or hadn't posted anything because you were exhausted from having a new baby :)
