We went to our 39 week check-up today and there's still no progress. We scheduled an ultrasound for Friday afternoon and a non-stress test for Monday morning to make sure all is going well.
The doctor is afraid that since she hasn't dropped at all, she may be too big. So, that's what we're looking for. The magic number is "4500g" or 9 lbs. 9 oz. If she is measuring/weighing around 4500g, then we will have to discuss some "other options" (aka: c-section). As you may have guessed by the tone of this post, I'm dreading that talk. But I had some time to think about it, and I know that whatever they have to do to make sure she's healthy, I just have to do it.
On a positive note, I am having some preparatory signs that things are progressing...it just hasn't done anything for me yet. I just keep hoping and praying...and walking!

Tell that silly girl to get out of there! Although really, you're just creating such a wonderful home for her, WHY would she want to leave?! I hope walking (et al) works for you!
Me too! The suspense is killing me :-)
