For all those who call my cell phone in eager anticipation that little Audrey may be making her grand entrance at that moment in time: keep waiting.

Scalini’s didn’t work for me this time, although right as my 48 hour buffer time ended, I began to have some quite considerable contractions on Sunday night- to the point where I was in so much pain we called the parents to warn them it may be an interesting night. To our dismay, the contractions never got close enough together to call the OB and in an attempt to get some rest, they diminished back to the regular old cramping by yesterday morning. I had my 38.5 week appt. yesterday and I left quite disappointed, to be honest. It seems no progress has been made since my last internal exam at 33 weeks. I am still barely dilated, and she is still sitting high (which I know, I know, doesn’t mean anything), but it would certainly make me feel better when I can *see* the end in sight. The doctor said everything looks good though- from what he could judge from the outside she appears to be 7-7.5 lbs. already. Other than that, he said “see ya next week.”

Ugh. I am soooo ready NOW. My actual due date is not until next Thursday, but the thought of not being able to have her until August 17th (they let you go two weeks past your due date before they induce) scares me to death. I am so miserable and am so tired of being in pain 24/7. The heat certainly doesn’t help matters much, but I’m over it. I’m tired of feeling like a sitting (or waddling would be a more appropriate word) duck and getting all these phone calls, “have you had her yet?” Trust me, after all this, you will know when I have her.

Please forgive me for being such a mean pregnant lady. I am just so frustrated with all this and if the only gratification I can get is venting, then that’s what’s gonna happen.
