40 w 1 d

Had dr. visit yesterday. Blood pressure is back to a nice, healthy 118/64. Spent 30 minutes on the monitor and baby is doing fine. Cervix is still long and closed. UGH!

Appears he's not coming out without the doctor making him. Will see. Having contractions more and more often.... just not often enough for them to count for anything. It seems I have a stretch between 7 and 10 every evening that the contrax start happening 7-10 minutes apart and last a few hours... and then nothing.

I took a list of questions about induction with me yesterday and the nurse sat and went through every single one with me until I was satisfied. Not like I had anything better to do while I was hooked up to the machine.... and she was quite happy and patient to do it. I'd still prefer he come on his own, but I do feel a little better about the induction option, should it come to that.

One way or another... we should have a baby by Tuesday.

I bet you're about to go crazy with the waiting. Fingers crossed that things move along quickly - perhaps tonight?

I don't know...I have a feeling (for what it's worth, which isn't much) that we're suddenly not going to hear from you for a while (before Tuesday) and then get a big announcement! :) Here's hoping...lots of good thoughts and labor vibes coming your way!

OMG! I thought for sure after not hearing from you for a few days you were in the hospital.

I hope he comes on his own too. I hope you have the birth experience of your dreams and if you are comfortable tape as much as you can and pictures pictures pictures! Can't say that enough.
