36 Weeks: No News Is Good News

So a few more people are about to lose the guessing pool. Went to see Dr. C and she said I was 2-3 cm (I guess she was wrong or lying last time when she said 3cm) and the cervix was long (i.e. unchanged from how it has always been). Twin B has not moved (turn baby turn!) although I suspect he/she is often head down and then flips before the sonogram to mess with Dr. C and keep things interesting. Dr. C is very anxious for me to have the twins even though I am officially two weeks away from the fake due date. She asked me if she could "strip my membranes"- a painful way to manually trying to jump start labor and I said no thank you. My odyssey back to work was absurd. I hopped on the m4 on the UES which did not give me a transfer. At 110At the bus got stuck (it is snowing much more than originally forecast) and detoured up Frederick Douglass. When I asked the driver when he was heading back south he said never and gave me a transfer for the M60, which I caught at 125th St for two seconds. This bus also got stuck, there had been an accident blah blah I found myself hiking up a steep hill (no cabs) from 125 down to 1115 and then up another to get to Broadway. Suffice it say I got my workout for the day. I think if you bet Jan 27, 29, or 30th you are going to lose. Here's to more pregnancy and less snow!
