january 2nd

will {supposedly} be the day.

we went to the dr. today and nothing is moving. in fact, daphne is really high. he said he couldn't break my water at this point if he wanted to. not great news. i went into the appt. really hopeful- i was thinking: well, at the worst, i'll be induced on the 29th and maybe i am dilated now and can get a baby for Christmas. I really haven't even imagined Christmas coming and going while still being pregnant. Apparently, that was just wishful thinking. So, the dr. said if we wanted to, we could still probably get induced on the 29th but the chance we would need a c-section would be a lot higher so of course we didn't want to do that. (see, i am not THAT irrational about not wanting to be pregnant anymore) so, we have another appt. on monday (the 29th) and as long as i am "ripe" then they will proceed with the induction on Jan 2nd (next friday) it is all scheduled through the hospital- 11 am on jan 2nd. Let's hope for some ripening over the holdiay.

Oh you poor kid. That really is a bummer. I am proud of you. You must be even more anxious than my kids are right now (waiting for Christmas), and that is ANXIOUS, let me tell you. At least the date is cute, right?

good luck!! I hope she comes soon. Yeah it definitely is so worth all the pain. Try the turning side to side like 5 min on each side, maybe it will help her drop into the birth canal better.

Be patient, trust me it will pay off in the end u don't want a c-section. I know it's difficult right now but when she's here it will be like the time went by fast.

Darn those doctors. Don't they know when a pregnant woman is done?

Good luck on the ripening. Let's hope for a Christmas (or few days post-Christmas) miracle.
