I'm on pins and needles and I just found this blog the other day! Is anyone else wondering if a lack of posting today (the 19th) means that baby Jasper is making his grand appearance?

Needless to say, the wee girl was grounded from the get go for being so stubborn ;) when the docs looked at the placenta, turns out baby came right on time. go figure birthing vibes to you Ariana ah..the ebb and flow of labor and the labor stories. a friend recently birthed her girl (believing she was almost two weeks past due date) with no induction or so on in five hours, but she was 4cm dilated for a week!

I am now in my 3rd trimester with my second. PRAYING that I have the little bugger on time and not late! I feel your pain! They said I had a "stubborn cervix" because it refused to dilate!

I was 3cm for WEEKS and ended up being induced 8 days past my due date (which ended in an emergency c-section -- HORRIBLE). DId you know though that 5% of women have a gestational period of 42 weeks? I honestly wish I hadn't gotten induced and let Mother Nature do it's job, but at the end I was so huge and impatient that I just did whatever seemed good at the time. One good thing about being over due is that past due babies sleep and eat better(and it was true for our kid). Also don't be freaked out if his skin peels alot, it's also normal for past due babies. Good luck and looking forward to hearing all about your labor and the birth of your son!

Your body is revving it's engine. You'll be in labor very soon, I'm sure. Hang in there and try not to smash your head against the wall. I'm glad you have an appointment today, I'm sure they'll have encouraging news. You’re getting so close! Your body is revving it’s engine. You’ll be in labor very soon, I’m sure.
