40 weeks + 2 days = overdue

I'm back with still big belly =(
I'm past my due date and I am still 3cm dilated from last week to today according to my O.B.
I am getting mixed emotions now, anxious because I want to see her already, sore and tired because my body can't take it anymore and just overall it's making me sad. I've done everything I could to make this easier, I walk pretty much everyday and kept doing and moving around the house thinking this would help me put into labor but my hard work still 3cm dilated..
I know I should give it another week, perhaps the doctors miscalculated my EDD and that happens. I just wanted to avoid being induced which they might schedule me next week, I really don't want to do that because I know my body will not be in tuned once medications are administered.
The days/weeks seems longer these days, I couched, I clean the house, dreading to go to sleep thinking this might be the night only to wake up with the urge to use the restroom. =|
Many suggested that I should enjoy this relaxing moments for I would miss it once she's born and need more of my time and attention which I highly agree but part of me just can't sit and lay here relaxing knowing that I am expecting a bundle of joy anytime soon..

Where are you?

Today is Baby A's due date but no signs of grand entrance yet. I feel like It's been a very long 6 days for me since I started my countdown. I know one of these days I'd be blogging next how adorable she is.
So Danny and I have been couped in the house for hmm 3 days? The last time I went somewhere was Friday and it was a false alarm hospital visit. I am dreading to be outside the house and what if my water breaks in public? I would panic hysterically and probably be embarassed although there's nothing to be ashamed of since people seeing me with huge belly means I can pop anytime soon but I just can't imagine what I would do if that happens.
Tomorrow I need to go out and grab other things for Baby A and long walks will help to start labor, maybe.
So to kill boredom today, Danny and I assembled Baby A's swing. We got her the Fisher Price My little Lamb and I received a bouncer from my baby shower. Both looks pretty neat and soo cute especially the little lamb, I really can't wait till she uses it and I would do a review on how she likes being on it. Mommy likes it I hope she will too!

39 wks 3 days...3cm dilated

I had my doctor appointment today and my cervix was checked..I was at 2cm but asked for strip membrane to help things moving..normally I wouldn't do anything against nature but due to circumstances I am obliged to do this one because...
1. My body is so sore from belly down
2. My fave doctor will be on Spring break by next week and I love this doctor he was the only one that took me under his wing and made sure that all my expectations are met during my pregnancy.
3. We're on a time line , our family is scheduled to be relocated to another country by July. ( I won't mention it just yt till we get there)
All paperwork and baby should be ready yada yada yada, a lot of paperwork!

So pretty much I weighed and taught this thouroughly before I decide, the experience?
It was painless but lots of pressure going on, I misunderstood stripping membrane from inducing labor. Now it is really waiting game for us, I have to be alert with my possible contractions and see if I go in labor sometime tonight or tomorrow. I just hope this is not going to be a very long one.
Hopefully on my next update it's with baby pics already =D
