40 Weeks {EDD Has Come and Gone}

Happy EDD today, April 22, 2014 with Baby Rhema!!!!

PROGRESS--Happy Birthday to me---PROGRESS!!!!!!

Dilation: 3 cm

Station: -1

Effacement: 50%

BP: 120/77 (SUPER HIGH FOR ME)

Contractions:  When she was measuring me I said "Ow, I cannot lay like that; it is too much pressure."  She started measuring me and said "Oh you are having a contration right now."  To which I responded "Are you sure?  I think I just need to pee" HA!  Apparently I am confusing contractions with needing to pee and the baby moving--whoops!

Overall:  Midwife said I have a chance to go on my own with this progress!!!  I wanted so badly to go open my own but now that it is a real possibility, I am like a first time mom and NERVOUS!  But she also said it is totally possible to hang out here until induction.

How's Baby:  Midwife says this will be another big one; lets hope :)  No new developments other than packing on pounds.
How's Mommy:  Lots of pressure and hips aching because baby dropped.  I was a nut today and spent my birthday freezer cooking---prepped Mongolian beef, Polynesian chicken, enchiladas, and purees that I cook with often!
How's Daddy:  I think he is ready to get this show on the road too :)
Next Appt:  April 28 I am scheduled for an NST and then doctor appt the next day when I am 41 weeks.
