36 WEEKS: We're finally done with all of our birthing classes and we've got the certificates to prove it! What else? I've been having sporadic contractions. Jason has to roll me out of bed cause I can't seem to get up by myself. My carpal tunnel syndrome sucks. I get winded going to the mail box. It's driving me crazy not knowing when the baby is coming. I'm excited, nervous, anxious, scared, and happy all at the same time. Pregnancy has defnitely lost it's charm.
My last check-up revealed that I'm 2 cm dilated, 90% effaced, and -2 station. Doc seems to think baby could come any day and that would be perfectly great, but I've decided I'd like to hold on to Kale until December 3rd, and maybe even December 12th. Doc also says my cervix is very favorable so if I wanted we could schedule an induction any time after 38 weeks (Dec 10th). No thanks. I'll let them induce on Dec 27th if Kale hasn't come on his own, but it really looks like it'll be a lot sooner than that. We're all planning for any day now. Jason has rushed out and bought the celebratory cigars and brandy. Nani is checking on how easy it will be to get a last minute plane ticket and I'm timing my contractions as they come, which so far have not been regular. |
