Yay!!!...I mean...oh yeah, it's my due date. Didn't think I would still be here with no baby on my due date, that's for sure. But here we are! Nothing too exciting going on so far today. Just hanging out watching it snow. Kind of bummed there is all this snow, I've heard reports of great clearance sales going on at Babies R Us but there is no way we are heading out today. Oh well.
So to update from the other night. At about 5 am I still having spotting/bleeding which I figured was from my exam but since it was red I got nervous. Called L&D and they said yeah, from the exam but if it got really heavy to get concerned. It didn't...so everything was ok there. Got back to sleep around 5:30 and slept until 8ish. Molly came home from Grammy's house around 10 and then my mom and Michael showed up shortly after so I could go to my doctor appointment. The doctor couldn't believe I was there...she seriously thought I would have delivered. Guess this little guy fooled everyone. We did another non stress, baby is still moving around fine. She told me she didn't think I needed to do another round of the cervidil, great news. I asked how long I needed to be on pitocin with no progress before we talked about a c-section. She said I had to give it at least 12 hours. Ugh. So I asked about delaying it and I'm so happy she agreed. While it would be nice to have the baby by now, after the failed induction Monday/Tuedsay and false labor Thursday I just needed a break. If I went/go into labor naturally that's one thing, but I just didn't have it in me to go into the pitocin Saturday morning.
So I'm just hanging out, bouncing on the yoga ball, trying to walk around as much as possible in hopes that I am a little more dilated or he is low enough to break the water when we get in on Tuesday. Or of course that I go into labor on my own. But so far that hasn't happened. I'm having contractions on occasion, but nothing major.
Hopefully my next post will be welcoming the little guy home....I think we've all had enough of these updates!
