40 Week Dr. Visit

Well, I went to the Dr. today and I'm still not dilating. She said he doesn't look to be too big so she is inducing me Monday the 26th at 8PM and said it could take as many as 3-4 days (yeah, that sounds like fun). If I can hold out long enough in the hospital I can avoid c-section if that's what I want (yes I do). Hopefully I'll go into labor before then, but my overdoing it has not helped to start things. I'm hoping the meds they give me will work to kick start things and it won't be a 3 day event.

Needless to say, I'm one ticked off pregnant lady...so if I'm rude to anyone I'll go ahead and apologize in advance. I'm going to sulk and feel sorry for myself so don't try to make me feel better because that will just tick me off more. Please don't tell me how to get labor started, either - I know all those old wives tales and have tried them all. Love you all! I promise the nice version of me will return someday...until then, I'm sorry.

39 Week Appointment

Today I had my 39 week Dr. appt and I'm still not progressing. DANGIT! She didn't want to schedule induction for Monday the 19th unless I had dilated already b/c it could be a 2-3 day process (which I def. don't want). She did an ultrasound to see how big he was and he was stubborn and would not show his face. He showed his man-parts though! He's measuring about 7 pounds 3 ounces, which could be off a pound either way. I'll go back on Tuesday the 21st and if I still have not made progress she'll schedule my induction.

38 Week Dr. Visit

We had our 38 week visit this past Friday and alas, I am 1 CM dilated. Woo. Oh well, better than nothing. My next visit is Wednesday the 14th and we'll talk about induction. She'll probably schedule me for Monday the 19th if I haven't had him before then since Mondays are her days she likes to schedule inductions. She said she'd let me go a week overdue but I told her the idea of that does not thrill me. So, we'll see....until then I'll just keep moving.

I've cleaned the house top to bottom and washed all the cloth diapers this weekend so I think we are completely ready. I'll put a post on here about them sometime soon - they are super cool and cute. Hopefully they'll work great for us. You can check them out at http://www.rockymountaindiapers.com/.  All we need now is the car seat to be installed which Mike is doing this week sometime. Keep your fingers crossed that the new moon on Wednesday makes something happen!
