The 39 week mark has come and gone with no sign that lil' Evan is going to come out. We had a doctor's appointment on Monday and all the stats are the same, I am still 1cm dialated and 80 - 90% effaced. The doctor said there is a greater than 50% chance that he will come on his own sometime this week but worst case scenario, she will induce me next week sometime or next weekend. I am really hoping for him to come this week since the idea of being pregnant another week does not appeal to me AT ALL.
As you can see from the picture posted below, I am pretty rotund. When I go out in public parents and grandparents look at me with this knowing look like, "Any second now!"
Tonight is the full moon which apparently has a great effect on causing your water to break although it does not cause you to dialate or have contractions so it still may mean induction. However, I saw on CNN this morning that there is a lunar eclipse tonight so I am not sure what effect that has on labor. I am going to do some reasearch on that. Keep your fingers crossed!
So...we will keep you posted!
