Well, we're still here....

Still only 1cm . and although the baby's head is down, it's still a bit high, not as far down in the birth canal as we'd like

All looks good... The baby's HB was strong and loud. He/She is still managing to kick away in whatever room is left

I have an apptmt for next week, which hopefully I wont make it to It will be the 'after your due date' apptmt to do a BioPhysical Stress test to make sure everything is ok, check the baby's weight and all other things... If all is well from there and we still havent gone into labor (they wont induce me because of previous C-section), we can decide to wait a bit longer (as much as another week) or if we seem still to be progressing very slowly, we can opt to have a c-section at that time. So we will see and decide at that time whats the best option.

Im hoping for some 'cant talk through' 5 minutes apart for an hour' contractions

I'm sticking with my original date of 3/8. However, if you feel like hanging for another week... 3/15 is a great date for a birthday!!

I am wishing you speedy labor vibes!!!

I think your baby is comfortable. You enjoy pregnancy and parenting, you are my role model. I admire you and your attitude and the way you just take things all in stride and make the best of them. All the best for a quick and easy labor and delivery

So far no eggplant surprise
Well I did leave out/forget one ingredient (ricotta) so does that make the whole experiment a flop?

It was sooo delicious nonetheless

Maybe the full moon will work some wonders!
or maybe the walking I plan to do today
