Not Interested In Coming Out To Play

Another week has passed, another uneventful visit with the doctor. She did say that I am one centimeter dilated, but I think she just said that to make me feel better. She also did an ultrasound to check my amniotic fluid levels and said they were still really great. My blood pressure was still low so she said that she could not find a reason to induce me just yet (and apparently being uncomfortable does not count as a good reason). According to her, inducing me with an "unripen" cervix would lead to a long and unpleasurable labor- which she felt was unnecessary. So, we have an appointment next Monday and she will schedule an inducement for the 14th (yes, Valentine's Day). We aren't too thrilled about the possibility of Noah's birthday being on Valentine's Day- so keep your fingers crossed that I go into labor before then!

No, that's not a basketball



So, after many requests, I am reluctantly posting a picture. It is amazing how I failed to realize exactly how large my belly has gotten. It wasn't until I asked Ben to take a picture of me to post that I realized why everyone stops me and asks when I am due. For those of you who don't know, I am due TOMORROW.
