39 weeks

File this under another post I didn't think I would be writing.

I've never gone 39 weeks.

Praise God the pregnancy that is going the longest is also the easiest pregnancy...no round-ligament pain, minimal back problems (with chiropractic help), less weight gain.  Although I do feel like I will now be pregnant forever.

Anyway, today was my weekly OB visit, preceded by the non-stress test and amniotic fluid level measuring.  Everything still looks great, but I have only dilated slightly more than last week, and am only slightly more effaced than last week.  The baby's head hasn't really dropped lower (like I thought it had!)

So I could give birth tonight, or go another week!  He has no reason to induce me this week, but he said we would talk about it if I am still pregnant at my appointment next Tuesday...he doesn't want me to go more than one week over my due date (which is this Sunday, April 25 on his books).  So I won't be pregnant past next weekend.  And I'm very thankful that I'm not miserable!

You have been so lucky to have such a great pregnancy. Here's to some long walks over the next week!!
