39 weeks

I had my 39 week check up yesterday and all is well. I am 2 cm dilated now. Unfortunately, my OB/GYN Dr. Apodaca is out on sick leave so I am now being followed by Dr. Simmons. I have seen him twice now and am very pleased with how scrupulous he is. I did inquire about a possible induction; he says that he will not allow me to exceed 41 weeks. Yikes! So that means that I'll definitely be having our baby sometime before the end of the month!

This was the first OB visit that Luis was not able to attend. He had an inkling that I would be sent from my visit directly to L&D and was very worried. Hehe. So for preparedness sake, he had the car packed up and ready to go in case he needed to leave work to meet me at the hospital. Needless to say, I carried on with the remainder of my day as usual, and ran some errands with my mom and in-laws.

So now we are wondering when the baby will come! I have had a few contractions today. It really would be neat if he was born tomorrow; what a wonderful father's day gift!
