Nope, no baby yet

Well, despite the signs, this baby has decided it needs to cook just a little bit longer. At this point I kind of regret having the cervical exam because I think if I didn't know I was 4 cm dilated I wouldn't be on pins and needles waiting for something to happen. As you can tell from my ticker at the top, I'm still only 37.5 weeks along, so baby really should stay in there another 2.5 weeks for me to be at my due date.

Between the cervical dilation and effacement, the periodic Braxton Hicks contractions, losing my mucus plug (gross, I know) and hearing that second babies come earlier than first babies, I had convinced myself that the baby would be born this past weekend. I even ran home from work Thursday night to pack my hospital bag and get it in the car.

On a related note, I realized today at 1:17 p.m. that this is the most pregnant I've ever been - so there's that...
