I'm having appointments every few days to check my progress and the baby's growth. I can't be induced unless I show some progress towards labor, and truth be told, I don't feel like anything is happening. The baby is still very high and I am not having contractions. The good news is the baby is head down and he is only measuring in the 40th percentile, so no giant baby. I have a latest possible induction date of August 21 (a full 2 weeks overdue!) but if I make progress between now and then I can be induced earlier. And there is always the chance that I could go into labor on my own, although I can kind of tell from the doctor's comments that the smart money isn't on that possibility.
I still feel pretty good most of the time. The swelling in my hands and feet has reached comical proportions but it doesn't actually bother me much, and my blood pressure and tests are all good so it's not anything to worry about. I sleep well and still get around pretty easily, so now we just wait some more.
