A baby by Tuesday or Wednesday (hopefully)
Saturday, February 9, 2008
Well the check up went well yesterday...I am dilated to 2cm! Successfully stripped membranes and I had mega contractions off and on all night. Not sure if they got me anywhere though. Dr said the process works for 1/3 of women with in 24-48 hours, 1/3 of women it does nothing and 1/3 of women it causes contractions that do nothing...so we'll see what the weekend brings.
If nothing happens, I go Monday morning at 9 am and he'll try again. See what that brings on and then Bear and I decided to go ahead with the induction Monday night. Around 7 we'll check into the hospital and they'll try cervidil. Let me rest through the night and then see if my body takes over or if they need to start pitocin. So we should have a baby Tuesday. If all of that doesn't work I have an appointment Wednesday morning and then I guess I'll be pregnant forever!
The only thing that scares me is that whenever the outside world gets involved your chances of a c-section are increased...
I'll keep you posted...

still pregnant
Monday, February 4, 2008
for those waiting to hear news...I am still pregnant. Waiting "im"patiently until the bebe and my body are ready.
I went to my appointment on Friday and something in my body was still too "closed" to successfully strip membranes so until that opens on it's own we'll have to wait.
I go Friday the 8th (my due date) in the afternoon so we'll see if anything has progressed.
I have an appointment scheduled for my 2nd due date on the 13th.
I bought a giant exercise ball-just like the one I used in labor with Parker-to sit on around the house, use for when I am working from home, etc...mostly to help my hip pain and to maybe progress a little more. It worked during labor really well. I think Parker is having more time with it then I am though.
In order to pass more time-we had a photo shoot~here are the latest
