and........ nothing.
Feels anti-climatic doesn't it? Well, that's how our last few days have been. Things seem to be moving along, we're gearing all... all the signs are there....... and.... nothing.
We have a game player here ladies and gentlemen. Magenta is officially laughing at all of us, and is working on her own time schedule. After so much excitement at our last doctors visit, this weeks' was a bit more subdued.
To get technical- I'm still only about 1/2-1 inch dilated and 50% effaced (no change there). Her head has moved down even further, but my cervix, although shortened, is still in the back. So for those that have no medical background- it means that "things are moving along, but nothing is eminent"
Basically I was told to go up to the front desk and make my appts for the 41st week... ahhhhh!
Our due date isn't until Monday, so we're trying to stay positive that I won't go into 10 months, 1 week, and all the walking / stairs / jumping jacks that I've been doing will start to kick in.
Good news is that there are days that I feel just fine- like today. She's just chilling, so I'm just going along with my every day routine (as a stay at home pre-mamma, that "routine" involves a lot of Burton time... and trying not to poke my eyes out). Other days I'm completely exhausted, my insides feel like they are on a roller coaster and I'm ready to have Chris sit on my stomach so this child has no where to go but out.
But most importantly, Magenta is in good health and that's what is most important (ahh yes, there are my maternal instincts). It was great to see her sucking her thumb in the sonogram today (sorry though grandmas, no good pictures- her hand kept getting in the way). She measured 6 lbs 13 oz - nice an
d small (keep that up child!)

(my child would have been out and about 2 months ago with a to-do list all ready to go). So it's probably a good thing that she's still content to float around some more.
