Short Baby Girl Update

I had my 40 week appointment this morning.  (I am actually 40 weeks and 2 days.)  I didn't gain any weight this week (yea!) and my blood pressure was slightly elevated at 138/80.   I lost my mucus plug yesterday (sorry TMI) so I was hoping for some good progress.  Instead when she checked me I went from 1/2 cm dilated to 1 whole stinkin cm dilated.  My cervix was getting softer.  She recommended waiting until 41 weeks before scheduling a csection.  I have to go in for two ultrasound monitoring sessions this week to check the amniotic fluid, to see if I am contracting at all (I don't feel much of anything.), and to see how Baby Girl is handling the situation.  So I have to go back tomorrow and Friday and if everything is fine at those monitoring appointments I suppose they will schedule me for a 41 week check up with Dr. C next week where a final decision will be made. 

I am feeling a mix of emotions about things.  I am anxious to meet our Baby Girl and I am getting tired of waiting.  I am happy to have a few extra days to rest and finish up a few chores.  I am frustrated to be so ready and have to keep redoing things...like going back to the car wash tomorrow to vacuum and wash the van which is already dirty from when I did it a few weeks ago.  All minor annoyances.  I've waited this long for this miracle baby, what is a few more days and a few more chores?
