38 weeks down...

and no progress! I saw Dr. Kambin on Wednesday (she delivered Reilly) and I think her exact comment was "I can't even find your cervix it's so high up there." Thanks! Exactly what I wanted to hear. Then she measures me and says "Wow, how big do you think this kid is?" And I tell her at my U/S 2 weeks ago I was told 6 pounds, 10 oz, and she says, I think this kid is already 8 pounds! Bear in mind that up untik literally 5 minutes before pushing out Reilly she was telling me she was 10 pounds and I might need a C. So I think her mental measuring system is a bit off. So I just laughed and said "we'll see, I'm not worried". She talked about induction at 39 weeks if my cervix is ready, but I don't really see myself progressing to readinees in a week and a half if I am zero, nilch, nada today. You never know, maybe my water will break at the pool today. But then will I know it broke??? Hmmm...

At least we made progress at home this week...today Rich will set up the nursery, at which time it will all "feel real" according to him. I hope I don't come home to him hyperventilating once the room is set up LOL! The baby's laundry is washed and folded, and I have the list of what I need in my hospital bag at least written out. I bought enough diapers for Reilly for like 2 months so I feel good about that. We really need to get to Costco and stock up. Our window washer comes today so that's a plus (I guess?). Our windows are really dirty!

Now we just need to agree on a middle name if we have a girl. I thought we were done, but apparently not. Rich is "thinking on it", so hopefully he'll let me know soon what it is. Did I mention he picked the first name too? Oh and the boy's name? Wait a second, I feel like I am getting the shaft here :)

And of course the Reilly update, she is a princess and as usual has us cracking up constantly. The energy in that little body of hers is amazing. Apparently the most fun part about the pool is not the actual pool, or the toys, or any of the little kids who want to play with her...but running around the pool, chasing all the older kids (yes you guessed it- yelling Wait Stop the whole time at them), and weaving through the tables during lunchtime while people try to eat and I try to chase her bumping my big preggo belly into all of them. I finally got her water shoes so she doesn't fall as muc (we had many boo boos this week), but it is SO tiring. Hopefully today she will just stay in the water already bc it is going to be HOT.
