Daily Update

Kat in Australia has requested a daily update from now until the baby comes, just to let you all know what's going on, and I guess that's fair enough. I know all too well what its like to wait for the news of a friend's labour and how you can't help but wonder if they've had the baby and are just too tired/busy/distracted to write about it or if that poor girl is still hanging around with a huge belly getting more and more impatient as the days go on.

Can you guess which category I fall into? I went for my 39 week OB appointment yesterday and basically there were no signs of a downward movement from the little person my granny has taken to calling "Her Ladyship". Actually, that's not true, I was 1 cm dilated, but Dr C didn't seem all that impressed and said I shouldn't hold out much hope for the baby to come today. That's too bad because she's on call at the hospital today and it would have been nice to have her deliver ALL my babies. I'm not sure when she's next on call, but if it means waiting another week, I think I'll take my chances with whichever doctor happens to be there in the meantime.

Bobine isn't officially due until Thursday, the 25th, but man, I wouldn't mind if she made her appearance before then. I know she'll come when she's ready (or when I'm induced if it comes to that), but her grandparents would like to see her before they have to go back to Ottawa, her brothers are asking for her everyday and her father said "if she doesn't come soon I'm going to have to iron more shirts for work". So I ironed his shirts for him today, seven of them, but I really, really, REALLY would like her out before we need to iron any more!

Anyone want to place a bet on when she's going to emerge from her cocoon?
