Sitting here doing nothing

Sadly, no progress to report. We all trouped up to the doctor today for my 39 week appointment because I was sure I had progressed since my 36 week internal check. Nope. Haven't done anything new. Nada. Zilch. The doctor assures me (as does Erik's "I've been telling you the same things!" look) that this means nothing. Labor could still start today or it could start much later. It just doesn't mean anything. But to me, it would have meant something. That I was getting closer, progressing, going into labor with a head start. All in God's timing!

In other news, we may be getting closer to a name. Well, lets just say I have finished going through the name books (and have a rather "short" list of 40 names!!) and every night now is "How about _______?"

I also have, with Erik's help, deep cleaned our family room, from the ceiling fan to steam cleaning the carpets (that is so satisfying!).

I think my nesting is complete. Our bags are packed. I am ready. Now aren't these the circumstances in which they say you go into labor?

Actually, no, that is NOT when you go into labor. Erik has to request chicken fried steak with mashed taters and cream gravy and you have to pork out on it mightily. You also have to have dirty toenails and half inch long hair on your legs. A zit on your hiney is a plus. THEN you will go into labor, my dear. And only then.

Ok, girlie...which one is off? Your doctor's appointments, or your ticker? The ticker says baby should be here by now, yet according to your appointment, your due date would be this coming Wed. I'm confused!
