I'm not quite dilated to a two this week, so Baby Meier is not ready to meet the world yet.
We talked about inducing and my doctor would like to give my body and Baby Meier another week. So, he called the hospital to set a date and the earliest they could get me in is next Thursday, yes, July 22. Ideally, someone on the inducing list will go into labor this week and I'll get to move into an earlier day (like Monday or Tuesday). Or I'll go into labor naturally sometime this week/weekend. My doctor is on call this weekend, so we can have this kid then and it would be fine.
I'm getting pretty miserable and grumpy (just ask Greg). I'm starting to swell, can't get comfortable sleeping, have no energy by the end of the day, and I ache. I'm trying to keep a positive attitude, but sometimes it is a struggle. I'm going to work this week and work at least part days to conserve some sick leave. I think I'll drive myself crazy if I'm at home (and Greg too if he is there).
I'll keep you updated if something changes.

I'm sorry to hear that Baby Meier isn't cooperating. He or she just wants to keep all of the rest of us in suspense just a little longer I guess. Hang in there! It will be over before you know it!
Hey Lesley,
I drop by your blog once in a while since Jessi Belt has it tagged on her blog. Congratulations on the baby!!! He/she is coming SOON. How exciting! We actually have a baby boy due to arrive July 21, so we'll see when he actually makes his arrival. Hope you're doing well and don't mind my random blog-viewing! I don't do any social networking stuff, but I may have to start after this baby shows up! Hope you're well!
