We just got back from my 38 week appointment. Wouldn't you know, I'm the same amount dilated as last week! Talk about beating the odds after 6 weeks of bedrest! Today my blood pressure was a little high (138/80) and I'm starting to swell, but this happened at the end of my pregnancy with Kate too. Nothing to worry about as of now.
The nurse and doctor said they were both surprised I made it this far along, which I'm thankful for. I had a feeling (apparently a very wrong feeling) that Little Miss would be here by now!
The gist is if Baby Garlando doesn't decide to grace us with her presence soon, I have an induction set up for next Wednesday morning (January 28). Either way, I can't wait to hold her in a week or less!
On another note... during the past week, Kate has decided to be potty trained. I tried a few times before but girlfriend just wasn't ready so I let it go. I wasn't planning on trying again until spring but when she started to say "Katie use the big gull pahty now," who was I to argue? I am definitely expecting some regression after her sister gets here. But for now, it's nice to only use 1 diaper a day!
Are you sure you can't hold her til my birthday? :)

That is hard to wait since you expected her to be here already! But she is still cookin and getting nice and chubby for you :)
Awesome about Kate! I thought when we were over there last week she was ready. I guess she was since she just potty trained herself. :)

I think it's fantastic that your little girl beat the odds! Can't wait to see her here! And what a big girl Kate is! You go girl! :)
