Hang on sloopy.....

Man oh man -- this kid keeps hanging on! It has been 2 weeks since the last post cause I really though this would be over by now!

Well 2 weeks ago the Dr's appointment went well -- dilated to a little over 2cm, 65% effaced, and baby at -1.

Last week -- dilated to a 3, 75% effaced and baby at 0 position.

and yet ......... here we still are. I even tried to eat spicy food and do yard work Saturday and still nothing. I have a feeling that this does not bode well...... all I can assume is that he is going to take after his mom in the 'stubborn' department. I bet he waits until the day we are going to induce just to prove he has the power (reference to He-man since he was once Skeletor -- see previous pictures)

They say thunder storms help to induce labor -- and I am here to attest that is a load! We have had thunder storms for 2 weeks almost straight and still nothing!

Now all I can do is limp around the house all pigeon toed to try to hold my ever-so-stretching crotch bones together as the shear weight of the baby increases! I was hoping to go early so he would not be the estimated 8.5 lbs -- I was thinking a good 7 or so would be do-able and perfectly healthy but it seems he has other plans.

Seriously -- if this is what it feels like to have osteitis pubis I pity any athlete with that diagnosis - it is miserable. And now my pubic symphysis is popping when I rock side to side. Given all this laxity I am seriously getting concerned that I will be over 4-5cm dilated when I get to the hospital and it will be too late for an epidural ----- what are the chances I can get one now and just leave it in ...??? may have to bring that up with Dr tomorrow!

Well -- hopefully this will be my last post cause he will come out any minute -- but if my theorem holds true I will be posting all the way until 5/20 our induction date -- doesn't that sound kinda weird by the way -- like I am being inducted into the hall of fame or something.

Anyhow one last thing -- Leehu has picked the name: Judah Chaim Loon!!! Come on Judah -- get it done!! :)
