No New Progress

Well, we had another midwife appointment today and we learned that we have not made any progress since last week. Baby's head is still down and engaged and I'm still only dilated to about 3 cm and 40% effaced. It's good and bad news at the same time... If the little guy decides to wait to make his appearance until after Dec 4, our Doula will be back in town and we will have additional support during my labor and delivery. However, it means more waiting. We're so anxious to meet this little guy that waiting another week just sounds like too much. But then again, I'm happy that we won't be eating hospital turkey on Thanksgiving. Hospital food just isn't very good and it would be a big bummer to miss Thanksgiving with the family. So we'll wait and have faith that our little guy will arrive at just the right time for all of us.

No Exciting News To Report

We're starting to get calls from well meaning friends and family inquiring about how things are going and if we have any news yet, so I thought I would write a short post to update everyone. Sorry, there's no exciting news to report. My water hasn't broken. I'm not having regular contractions. Nope, we're not in labor yet. Apparently baby is happy where he is and he's not yet interested in making his appearance. We have another midwife appointment on Wednesday, so perhaps we'll have more news Wednesday night.

Don't worry... we'll let you know as soon as we have any exciting news.
