40 weeks and one day
The due date was yesterday. It came and went without even a sign of labor.
David said he thinks the baby is running on Malley-Time… which is a running family joke because my family is notoriously late for everything! I think I would rather have the child inherit his ’super-punctual’ family genetics… but I guess I don’t get much say in that!
We have a doctor’s appointment tomorrow morning- just for the regular, weekly exam. She will check for dilation and cervical changes. Then, from the doctor’s office, we will be heading to the hospital for another ultrasound to check my amniotic fluid levels. After we get another peek at our little lady, we will be heading up to the OB floor to be hooked up to the fetal monitors so they can watch her activity for half an hour to make sure she is good and healthy.
Tomorrow, if the doctor suggests inducing… I can’t say I would turn her down, at this point. I am certainly ready to meet my daughter.
