Sunday marked 39 weeks, and I can't believe baby girl hasn't arrived yet. I know, I know, her due date isn't until the 22nd, but it's hard not to compare pregnancies and expect SOME similarities. Since Sullivan came 3 weeks early and I started 'progressing' so early with this one, we all (even my doctor) thought she would have arrived by now. Because I am of "advanced maternal age", they do a sonogram with a biophysical each week, and baby girl is doing great. Plenty of fluid, great movement, placenta looks good, etc. She's just not ready to make an appearance I guess. I, of course, am really hoping to have her and be home BEFORE Christmas. To that end, I've been trying some "homeopathic" things to bring on labor. Last night I finally resorted to making eggplant parmesan, and I did actually start having some contractions, but they teetered off again during the night. Supposedly the eggplant parmesan can take up to 48 hours to work, so maybe that with tonight's full moon will be the magic combination. I really put no stock into these things, but worth a shot. I still feel great, so I'm very thankful for that. I haven't been uncomfortable or swollen or anything. Just impatient. :)
