39 weeks

Went for my 39 week OB appt. today. Everything is still the same. I'm dilated between 2 and 3 cm. Baby's heartrate was 148. My BP was good. Weight is at 165 so I've put on exactly 20 pounds. It turns out that they moved my due date back when I had my 20 week ultrasound to July 28th. I guess I didn't catch on to that or they just didn't tell me so as of today, I am only two days away from the 40 week mark. The doc decided to set induction date. He said they don't like to let us go more than a week past our due date. So, if baby Philip doesn't make his entrance before, I will be induced on Monday, August 2nd. I'm not real happy about the idea of being induced but if that's normal procedure then I guess I'll go with it. I just feel that if Philip needs to stay in there, then let him. I'm praying he comes before so it's not an issue. Doc said they could probably just break my water but may have to use drugs to start labor.

This past week has had its share of good and bad days. After my appt. last week, I had two or three days where I had lots of energy...I'm pretty sure it was me nesting. All I wanted to do was get the baby's room finished and get the house ready for company. Then, the not so good days came. I had no motivation to do anything! And, poor Charlie...I feel like he is just being so neglected. Daniel has been real good to take time with him as well as take care of me.

With the work I put in last week and the work Daniel and I put in last night, the baby's room is all but done. Just a few more letters to be put on the wall, a little touch-up paint and some outlining of truck tires and clean-up and we're done for now. I still want to add a few shelves or something on the walls but that will have to come later.

So, I can atleast leave you with a date for delivery. Praying he comes sooner though...
