Update

Well, here we are at 38.5 weeks! I had my weekly dr check-up today to find out that I am still sitting pretty at a whopping 1/2 cm dilated without any change in the past 2 weeks. I think he's pretty comfortable in there. My doctor also explained today that they very rarely induce anyone so we will just wait it out until my body is ready. So basically I feel like I could be pregnant for another month.

I've been having some "contractions" on and off all week but they must just be Braxton Hicks that aren't really accomplishing anything.

The one bit of good news is that we also had an ultrasound this week and his size has dropped back down into the normal range ... woo hoo! We love the 55th percentile! We also got our first 4D image ... I'm thinking Shrek, Adam says Klingon (I have no idea what that is):


So to cheer me up, I've been coming up with a list of things to do in the next few weeks to make the waiting more fun. Here's what I've got so far ... any other suggestions to pass the time? Some are things that probably should have been done a while ago, some I'm just creating for fun:

~ Blog more!
~ Update my website
~ Make and decorate Christmas cookies
~ See "An Education"
~ Buy baby things ... bottles, pack 'n play, bathtime stuff, etc.
~ Make an apple pie (but don't catch the house on fire this time)
~ Attach Elliott's bedskirt
~ Go to Disneyland
~ Pack for the hospital
~ Buy rugs for the living room, Elliott's room?
~ Assemble and figure out how stroller, carseat work
~ Start yearly MyPublisher books like Callen's
~ Take naps
~ Finish reading Babywise
~ Go to the beach
~ Figure out how to be a mom

The funny thing will be now that I've let my guard down, I'll probably go into labor tonight and all of this will be for naught. Bummer ... I'm kind of excited about my list!
