Hello, here we are, Duckie and me, still intimately connected. I had a doctor's appointment today, and for those of you who want the nitty-gritty details, I'm dilated 1 cm (same as my last appointment 10 days ago) and effaced about 50%. This isn't exactly news that indicates labor is imminent.If the baby hasn't arrived by next week, I'll go in Monday, a few days after hitting 40 weeks, for a non-stress test to make sure the she's still thriving. It's a little early still to be talking about scheduling an induction, but I imagine that would happen late next week if Duckie insists on staying inside.
I'm definitely ready to be done with feeling sick, heartburn, and aches. I was sick again this morning. I'm also struggling to breathe, as Cora has again shared a cold with me. At least we know that we are surely in the last days, or week or so, of pregnancy! I'm very much looking forward to holding and kissing this precious baby girl.

Hang in there Lisa! You're actually past the home stretch...if there is such a thing. Either way...you're almost done!
The end is always the hardest... if it's any consolation, I was the same at all my weekly appointments from 35 weeks - 1cm, 50% effaced and a -2... these second babies often don't like to engage until labor starts, but it was still discouraging when I was 2cm and 75% at 36w with Adrian! I'm praying for your discomfort, and I know you know that He has ordained the day and the time Duckie will arrive.
