39 Weeks, 2 Days: Groundhog Day

Have you ever seen that movie Groundhog Day with Bill Murray? You know, the one where he wakes up and every day is the same? No matter what he does, he can't escape Groundhog Day?

That is kind of like how my ob appointments have become. No change.

I had my 39 week appointment today. No change. I've been at the same station, effacement, dialation (lack thereof) for about a month now. I've even regressed and am back to a "fingertip" dialated. My doctor even asked me if I've ever had anything done to my cervix, like had it frozen. (Excuse me?)

But, we have a plan. We are going to escape Groundhog Day. Monday is my due date. If I'm still in Groundhog Day, he'll induce on the 13th. If I've moved a little (dialated), he'll induce on the 8th.

Either way, Sienna is going to be here by at least the 14th! (Which is my mom's birthday, and Flag Day! It would be neat to have Brae and Sienna each be born on a holiday!)

  1. Well, she has to come out eventually, right? Here's hoping it's sooner rather than later!

  2. I think she's decided that she wants to stay in there. Forever. Sorry - you're just going to have to carry her around like that from here on out... ;)

  3. I think she is enjoying having your undivided attention right now. When she comes out, she has to share you with everyone. ((And you have to share her too)) ;)

  6. Yahoo Yahoo YAHHOOOO! *(We are gone that weekend, but no matter what we are back by the 14th). I can't wait to meet her! And am excited for you to hold her and start feeling normal again. OH, how 15 months ago wasn't that long ago when I read your post. ;)
