I had my 36 week OB appointment today. All went well. I'm up in the low 30's in terms of pounds gained during this pregnancy. My physician said I am 50% effaced and 1 cm dilated. We didn't discuss any plans for induction yet. I figured since I've made some minor progress in terms of effacement and dilation (I know, minor...but hey, progress is progress), I'm going to wait until my 37 week appointment to see if there is any additional progress.
As much as I want to meet our baby and bring he or she home, I'm also pretty motivated to keep working for now. The way that my maternity leave falls, if I can make it through the entire work week of October 7th, then I won't have to return to work until January 6tth. This will be the first time in 7 years that I have not had to work one of the holidays (Thanksgiving, Christmas or New Years!)
