The good: I am 3 cm dilated, 50% effaced, and I had my membranes stripped. And I went on maternity leave.
The bad: I am still pregnant.
The ugly: I feel like crap and want the babies here more than ever.
I saw my OB on Monday and he did he thing hoping that would jump start labor on it's own. I hate to be pessimistic, but I don't have the best track record in this area. I walked around for 10 days dilated and with stripped membranes before Noah decided to make his entrance into the world. So I am/was less than optimistic that Dr. Carter would be able to work his magic and "poof" send me spiraling into labor. But we tried. He told me that he doesn't like to induce before 37 weeks without reason, but he wants to keep and eye on my symptoms and see what happens. He also told me to come back on Thursday. And he's on call that day. Which he specifically pointed out.
I am PRAYING that tomorrow is the day. Dan is coming with me to the appointment and we just hope that Dr. Carter takes pity on my and decides to deliver. The babies are both healthy and we think they're about 6 pounds each. Meaning I am carrying 12 pounds+ of baby. And people wonder why I am cranky?!

You poor baby. No wonder you're ready to get those kiddos out! Keeping my fingers and toes crossed and sending lots of labor vibes your way. Keep us posted.
Hugs,

I never thought I would say this but I think I might miss you... This is my first attempt at blogging and I have to do it on Leslie's computer! In all seriousness, I have admired your tenacity and strength throughout your pregnancy. I am thinking of you and wish you well. Keep us in the loop. Kathleen
