Almost 39 weeks... and counting

I went in for a check up today. NO PROGRESSION!!!! I'm still dilated to a 3. I couldn't believe it, after the week I had. But, he said that he highly doubts I will make it to my due date, which is a week from Thursday. But, he said if I do go over he will induce me the next day if I want to. So at least I know he's coming on or before April 17th!

Be sure to post your guesses below for the baby's stats!

I seriuosly thought you were going to be sent to the second floor at the Women Center and have the baby today. But that's good he will induce you if Stockton still didn't come by your due date. Go for a long walk with Brady, that's what I did the day before Max was born. or do what I told you on sunday.... ;) jk. Love ya Rach, you are almost there.

I'm so excited that you are getting so close! I know you must be feeling miserable right now - my word of advice (since I have recently been in your shoes) - enjoy these last moments of being pregnant with Stockton as much as you can. Never again will you be able to feel him moving around in your belly (you'll get to hold him in real life, I know, but it's not the same). Get as much rest as you can (yeah, right) because when he gets here.....mwahahahaha...you won't sleep very much. Enjoy the freedom that you have to make a quick run to the grocery store or Target without having to lug a 500lb. infant carseat around. It can't be said too many times: your life will change so much!! But it only gets better. You are going to be a great mommy. Hang in there! You are in my thoughts and prayers - Kendall

Anellina changes her vote to April 17th since we cant go to her original date of April 21.

We got a text this morning at like 4 am, josh was thinking, wahoo they might be having the baby on my birthday, but it was just American Express telling me they got my payment (yep at 4am, thanks a lot!)

Oh and hopefully you dont have a long induced labor, if so, he may actually come as late as the 18th etc. I think my mom was in labor with Holly for almost 3 days.

You're lucky! My doctor wouldn't induce me until I was at least 41 weeks!
Day: April 11, 2009
Time: 3 PM
Weight: 7 lbs 8 oz (Seriously I don't think you could have a bigger baby than that)
Length: 20 inches
I predict (really hope for) a short < 6 hour labor (once you get to the hospital). And, You will make it to the hospital for sure. Everything will go routinely and you will have a perfect baby boy! You will be super happy (duh!) I can't wait!

Oh, I'm so sorry Stockton isn't here yet. I know you are excited to meet him - as am I!

Hugs!

Rachel, I think the baby will be born today (April 10,2009) since your mom e-mailed us to say you are in the hospital..I think he will be 6lb. 4 oz. 18 or 19 inches. Love to you and good luck with labor, its all good. I'm sure your mother will let us know as soon as she finds out. love aunt Rhea
