Okay. So the appointment for the ultrasound went well. She is weighing in at 7 pounds 2 ounces. (I think it's off, but what the hell do I know) The NST went okay too. She's not very active in the morning, so they shocked my belly to wake her up and boy oh boy did she wake up!
We saw the Doctor after. It's looking like this little peanut is going to make her arrival on June 10th. We are to go to the hospital at 7 pm on June 9th to have some gel put on my cervix to soften the damn thing up to hopefully deliver her vaginally. The gel will be on there for about 12 hours then on the 10th they will start pitocin (sp?) to get the contractions going. Yay. I want her out. Although it's totally effed up my mindset on a c-section now. (I'll get over it :) As long as the epidural works! The Doctor decided that since she was smaller than he thought that vaginal was the way to go. At least try. In the end I'm good with that as well. It's the recovery thing that concerns me with the c-section. Although with as stubborn as this little thing is being now, who knows if she will co-operate in the end! I've basically learned not to hold my breath where she is concerned! The only question is WHEN she will come on the 10th!! The Doctor's parting words were, "We'll see on the 9th unless of course you go into labor on your own." Hmm. Could it be possible?! LOL
I was totally disappointed that she is going to make her appearance this week sometime, but oh well. 5 more days? No problem. Now I can extend my cleaning list! LOL. I have all sorts of little things I'd like to get done. Why they are bugging me now, I have no idea, but still, they are bugging me. I actually cleaned out the microwave the other day. Go figure. I'm kind of annoyed I cleaned down the shower yesterday since that isn't an east feat right now. I should have waited!!
That's all for now. I've got to get the oven going for dinner. I'm starving all of a sudden!

Really...you just never know on issues such as childbirth, do you?
I was induced as well with Zoe. She couldn't handle it. I never even FELT the contractions before she was stressing so bad--we may have lost her at one point if my mom hadn't been in the room while my nurse was who knows where. After that, I REFUSED to birth the second baby unless she was at my side the entire time.
With Zach I went into natural labor (8 days early) but he was so doggone big that after several hours of labor--which was HELL, I won't lie--he had to go c-section as well.
Maybe you'll be "lucky" and go the way nature intended. Honestly, I don't know if that is "lucky" as I never did it that way. The rumor is that recovery is much faster.
Sounds like you are "nesting." Something I didn't think I ever did, until my husband informed me that I "nest" all the time, whether pregnant or not, and so that's why I didn't notice anything different.
Hang in there. Not much else you can do anyway!
MGM.
I wish you knew what to expect with childbirth...it's just one of those things!
For the record? I wish your Mom was out here too!
I will be shocked if I go into natural labor with her. I really don't expect it, but what do I know?
I'm not sure if "lucky" is the right phrasing either. As long as she is out and healthy I don't care how she arrives! Although it has been the recovery thing that has freaked me out about the c-section. Honestly. Either way kind of freaks me out, but she's got to get here somehow!
Yup. I'm nesting. I just re-organized the front closet. It's been bugging me. LOL. I think I nest all the time as well, now I'm just doing crap that I've put off FOREVER which makes me think I really am "nesting." I'm sure some of it has to do with boredom as well!
I'm hanging in as best as I can. I'm thinking about making banana bread today. It just sounds yummy. (Really? I have nothing else to do either!)
Thanks for your comments! I'm going to try and get one more picture up before we go in Monday night. Eventually I'll get it up on here, "her story". Eventually.
