Our "guess date" came and passed on Saturday, October 24th. This little baby is just so happy to stay inside. I guess we've made a nice little home for him/her. When we saw Dr. Goff yesterday, she informed us that we're still have not fully effaced, and have only dilated 1cm.
She's fine with us continuing the pregnancy as long as my non-stress tests (NST) continue to show well. She sent us for an NST yesterday to test the baby's movement and the amniotic fluid levels, and all was good. We go back tomorrow (Thursday) for another. Assuming we make it through the weekend, we'll do a 3rd NST on Monday and revisit the discussion next Tuesday.
So, the moral of the story: we're not in any rush and the doctor is fine with us staying pregnant as long as the baby continues to move, and the amniotic fluid levels remain normal.
We are using this time to finish little projects around the house. Karen dropped off the bedding yesterday and we had fun putting it all together. We're still awaiting the window treatment, need to pick up a floor lamp, curtains and a few other "little things." I'll update blog with pics when its finished. All in all, though, the nursery is organized and ready for Peanuts' arrival.
We'll keep everyone updated on baby news via emails and FB status updates. We love you all, and appreciate the good wishes. Hopefully my next post will have a picture of this little bundle of joy.
Ciao, for now!!!

So glad you are keeping that baby IN. I know we have the same philosophy on this, so I won't say anything more. Can't wait to hear about peanut's arrival!!
