39 Weeks and 6 days

So I'm not in labor yet... still waiting. I meant to post last night but I figured spending time with my hubby was more important, especially since it won't be just the two of us for long. I had a doctor's visit yesterday afternoon. They did another BPP ultrasound again and it was good as it always has been. Then I saw Dr. Allred. He is pretty much my favorite. I have seen him 3 times and I just think he cares a little more than the other practitioners. He checked me, which was quick and basically painless! So that was great. I was told by one of the nurses the appointment before that Dr. Allred really feels uncomfortable when his patients are in pain, and this was after I had Dr. Evans painfully check me. They say it is because he has such big hands. Anyway, so he checked me, I was the same as my last visit, barely dilated, not yet to a 1, 75% effaced, and baby is at station -3, however Dr. Allred was very hopeful compared to Dr. Evans. Dr. Evans said to us, "Don't sell your Jazz tickets just yet." meaning we weren't going into labor anytime to soon. But Dr. Allred said the baby is in a really good position for labor and the head is really low and he could feel the head really well when he checked me. And the cervix is moving forward like it should. Anyway, so he said that hopefully we won't have to do another BPP ultrasound because they can do it when the baby is born by just examining him. So he thinks we will deliver soon. Who really knows. He's funny and said, "What worked for my wife was strawberry cheesecake ice cream. I don't recommend just eating that but you can try it!" lol. He obviously meant do whatever you want to induce labor but who knows what really works. Anyway, so I'm just patiently/anxiously waiting to go into labor. Perry hopes its anytime but it would be ideal if it was Friday and then go home on Saturday with the baby. That way my mom will be settled in here, since she comes here on Thursday evening, and we still get to enjoy a nice President's day weekend. So anyway that would be ideal. Time will tell what actually happens. I'm trying to stay chill and not over anxious because I hear sometimes the mom's emotional state will delay labor.
