39 week update

Nothin...nada...no change since last week's visit to the doc. For all of you ladies that have been pregnant and had a "due date", you'll know what I mean when I vent to you about this. It is exhausting to keep telling people the same thing, that nothing has happened yet and yes, I'm still pregnant! I'm 3 days away from my estimated due date and no matter what I say to people, reassuring them that they'll be informed once I know what's happening, I still get checked in by well wishers that want to know if anything has started yet. I by no means am mad at any of these people for asking me how things are going because I know they care about me and Rory and are just excited about the next chapter in our lives. I guess I'm just more DONE with being pregnant at this point and would like to know when this little one will decide to join us. (Plus, it doesn't help when I know of two women who were due after me that are happily holding their babies in their arms right now.) Just like my niece, I have a feeling Rory is going to be happy in my tummy for a long as I let her stay there. Honestly, I do not want to be induced for various reasons but I am aware that in some cases, it's medically necessary. Right now, there is no medical necessity for Rory to be induced. However, my dilemma is that I don't want her to be 3 weeks late like my niece was (yes, I'm for real when I say Lily was 3 weeks late!) If that were the case, both my mom and my mother-in-law will already be on their way home from Japan and they won't even get to see their grandbaby. Realistically, because I'm having her in a military hospital, they won't let me go past 42 weeks. If, at that point, I'm still showing little progress, they'll definitely induce labor and get her out. So really, there's no need to fuss but here is an example what life is like these days: I do pliés just to pick stuff off the ground, I throw my leg up on high things so that I can shave, put on lotion, fix my toesies etc., I can no longer climb on cabinets to get things that are beyond my reach (I have done this religiously being vertically challenged and all) so I now must actually get a step stool or wait on my husband to get it, I forget how BIG my stomach is and find myself bumping into things a lot these days, I shift from side to side (to side...) every night and get up to pee probably 10 times, and the list can go on! Up until week 37, I was feeling pretty good, but like I said, I'm done at this point so any prayers sent our way to get this little one out are much appreciated! Although, I must say Rory can wait until Friday if she wants because I plan on seeing the movie Bridesmaids with my friends on Thursday night and if she comes before then, who knows when I'll see it! So basically, come out on your "due date" Rory and we'll all get along ; )
