38 Weeks - Our Leek

At least I know what a Leek is. But a leek? Really? I think whoever they hired to find size comparisons needs to be fired. How about a Chinese radish? See, I'd be perfect at that job.

Well. I'll start off by saying that this kid is definitely taking after his/her father. I swear...the lack of respect for people in authority. Our child will be starting off their childhood being grounded. I'm getting the eviction notice prepared.

I went for my 38 week appointment and guess what! There was absolutely no progress. I am STILL only a fingertip/1 cm dilated and STILL 75%-80% effaced. The kid is still lodged at -1 station. I think the munchkin is planning on making my womb a permenant home for him or her. He or she is probably putting up posters and setting up for the long haul.

Nothing much else to report. I could whine on about how uncomfortable I am at the moment, but I'm sure that none of you want to hear that! I know that I/we're closing in on the finish line though so that makes this all worth it. Soon I'll have our little dumpling in my arms. And you all will FINALLY know the sex and name of the baby. The heartbeat was a good 136!

Another appointment next Wednesday. I'll update you again then!

I guess you shouldn't have made his/her so comfortable, no wonder he/she doesn't want to come out. Not much longer, Im' getting very excited.
