I hope my fellow Eastcoasters are staying warm and letting their husbands do the shoveling.
I just got back from the doc. Despite lots of contractions these past few days, I've made no progress since last week (1 centimeter, 70% effaced). I'm pretty bummed. The doc said we'd talk about going late and options at my next appointment (Tuesday). I said I'd like to have my membranes stripped at that time (they don't consider that induction in my practice). My drop dead date is February 11th since my official due date is January 28th (my ticker is the 26th based on ovulation).
On the up side, BP was good, I haven't gained any weight in the past 2-3 weeks, and baby is a modest size and not growing much either.
I'm not that uncomfortable, I just hate the waiting and uncertainty.

It's my Birthday, so I took off of work today. I am going to lunch with a friend soon and dinner with H tonight. H got me a prenatal massage and pedicure He also wrote some really sweet and cute things in the card he got me. I teared up when I read it.

Happy birthday!! Sounds like you're off to a good start celebrating - it also looks like you won't have to share your birthday with the LO. My bday is 3 days after my mom's (just sayin )
Everyone I know irl lately has been having their baby 2-3 weeks early. This makes me so excited! We are packing our bag and installing the car seat this weekend just in case.
I told a few people at work today but let them know not to spread it around quite yet. It went fine, they were happy for me.
I looked at another day care center yesterday and liked it a lot more than the last one, but it's sooooo expensive. I'm still going to try to find an in-home, but at least I know I'd be okay with this place if we had to.
