Visited the doctor again today...and we're now almost 3cm dilated. Seems like things are slowly progressing but no real 'signs' or feelings that real contractions are imminent. She did sweep the membranes in an attempt to get things started. She mentioned that my water could break first or contractions could get started in the next 48 hours. She's hoping I'll go into labour before the weekend so that she can be the one delivering. We'd like that too!
She has order a series of non-stress tests over the next week that take place at the hospital. I should hear from them shortly to set up appointments for these. They'll monitor the heartbeat, regular movement, and any contractions happening to make sure the baby is not under any distress as it continues to stay overdue.
We have another appointment to go back in two days, Wednesday...but perhaps we won't need it!
It was a beautiful day here today - went for a walk on the beach to try and get things going!
What a great day you had and a great photo! I hope that baby makes the grand entrance soon.
