Ingenue Mom

38 weeks: 90% effaced, 3 cm dilated, -1 station Stripped membranes again on Wednesday. It's Friday night & we've got nothing. So I thought I would do okay waiting for her. It's not working out as well as I'd hoped. I keep hearing, "oh you can stay at 2 cm for weeks..." but I'm not STAYING at anything for any amount of time! I've progressed every week.

So 36 weeks went to the doctor...1 cm dilated, 50% effaced, -1 station 37 weeks...2 cm dilated, 70% effaced, -1 station At least things are progressing. I hope this happens soon! She stripped my membranes, too this time. May not put me into labor, but hopefully it'll at least progress things even more!

I really think he's my favorite celebrity dad right now. It's because he always seems so involved, carrying her with the sling and carrying the diaper bags in other pictures and stuff like that. You actually rarely see the mom carrying her! It's always him! I just love it! I think Lewis will be the most amazing dad and for some reason Cam Gigandet reminds me of what Lewis will be like.
