39 Weeks

A few days ago I washed, folded, and put away all the laundry.  I thought it would be a good idea to have it done just in case something happened this weekend.  After it was done I realized I had probably jinxed myself for being so ready.

Yesterday was Tyson's sister Breanna's birthday and she was hoping the baby would make his debut.  I scrunched/diffused my hair with loads of gel and hairspray hoping to reverse the jinx of the laundry and make her birthday wish come true.  I would hate to go into labor with my hair scrunched.  So uncomfortable.

12:01 this morning, still no baby.  Sorry Bree!

Today marks the 39th week and we had an appointment this morning.  I'm 1 cm dilated and 75% effaced.  I've been that way for the last 3 weeks.  No contractions.  No water gushes.  Nothing.  Doc stripped my membranes so we'll see what happens.
My hair is still scrunched.

I'm not washing it until tomorrow.

Next appointment is next Saturday- -the due date.  Tyson thinks the baby will come Monday or Tuesday.  Here's to hoping he's right.

His dad is headed to Belize Monday night and won't be back until the following Wednesday.  He was in Guatemala when Teryn was born.  Now that we've moved home and the hospital is only minutes from his house he's really wishing he could be here for it all.

We'll see how much Ryder loves his grandpa ;)

The belly.  Not much different than last week, although the scale at the appointment this morning said otherwise.  More incubation just means a chubbier baby.  I'm OK with that.


Check out that awesome stretch mark.  I think it deserves a name.  I'm thinking
"San Andreas" would be fitting.
