Update - The "turkey" is sooooooooooo done!

No this picture does not give any explanation as to my whereabouts for the past three months. I did not run off to Japan and pursue my lifelong dream of becoming a sumo wrestler, (although with how big I feel right now, i'm sure i could give some of those big boys a run for their money) I've just been a big ol' proctastinator. I know I am wayyyyyyyyyyyyy overdue in updating my blog so I thought I would at least give you a wee lil' update and punish myself for taking so long by posting the above pic. No makeup + no hair done + one goofy expression = one hot tamale of a pregnant chick!

Baby Ryan has not made his appearance yet. My due date was yesterday but I'm thinking he's a wee bit too comfy in his "condo" to want to come out yet. I mean, who can blame him, a balmy 98.6 degrees, constant cushioning, the soft soothing sounds of amniotic fluid and being able to relax and not have to be on a schedule. Although he might be getting a wee tired of the little lectures I've been giving him as of late about "summer vacation" being over and him needing to show us how his 10 months of hard work has really paid off. I had a doctor's appointment yesterday and I was a whopping 2 cm dialated. Whoop-dee-doo right? I was up a whole 0.5cm from the week before. My OB then "stretched my cervix" which I guess is what we Canuckians call stripping your membranes. Whatever it is called it should be called "gouging my own eyeballs out with a spoon would be a breeze compared to this" because it was no picnic. He's hoping that this will get things rolling but alas, if they don't, I have another appointment on Monday to discuss the big "I" (induction). So if you could please keep your fingers, arms, toes and any possible flexible ligament that you have crossed for me it would be greatly appreciated. Wish me luck. ;)
