I am now 38 weeks and 4 days and STILL no baby. What is a swollen, exhausted woman to do?! At 36 weeks I was 90% effaced and 1.5 cm dilated. At 37 weeks, Noah was at 0 Station, but no change with mommy. 38 weeks still no change, so the doc stripped my membranes. I had the wonderful opportunity of ringing in the new year with violent vomiting and two days later on January 3rd, I lost my mucus plug and had false contractions throughout the day, but still no baby. Now at almost 39 weeks, I'm still vomiting here and there, still can't stand the sight of food and want nothing more than to experience REAL contractions, or rather surges (hypnobirthing lingo) than morning sickness and welcome this sweet little boy. On the plus side I have discovered that lullabies take away Noah's hiccups. It's actually one of the only things that takes my mind off of my body and its crazy antics. Isn't that the most tender thing ever? I can literally start humming lullabies and within a minute he is resting peacefully free of hiccups. I can't wait tip I can sing him lullabies outside of the womb. :]
I haven't taken any recent pics for a while due to my morning sickness (been in bed and the bathroom a lot) but if Noah doesn't arrive before my next doctor visit on Tuesday, I will have to document this enlarged tummy and post it. This has been one heck of a journey and look forward to what lies ahead. Until my next update, fingers are crossed! Wish us luck!
