Hello Hello!
I had my doctor's appointment today and it looks like my "suffering" on friday may have done a little something to make it worth while ;-) I am currently dilated to 2cm (apparently at my last visit I was more like 1 and a half or less....I must have been listening with optimistic ears!) and now about 75% effaced! So...even though it's not dilating a lot, my cervix is definitely softening up more. Baby's head is still down and in the engaged position, so everything is in a good place. Who knows when this little one will arrive, but at least we are moving in the right direction!
We talked to the doctor about what the plan will be in the event that she hasn't arrived by friday (my official due date) and it sounds like unless there is a medical reason deeming induction necessary, we would not induce labor until the following friday (when I would be 41 weeks) if that was the direction things needed to go. So....hopefully we won't make it that far and this little lady will just come when she's ready!! I will continue to work (full time now!) until she does...which is at least a really great distraction! Plus, I do lots of walking, standing, squatting and moving about at work, so maybe it will get things going ;-)
So, that's about it!! Hope everyone is doing well!! Thanks for all of your encouragement and support - and thanks for putting up with all of my complaining/whiney posts in the last few weeks ;-) I am trying to stay positive and patient, but I don't always seem to have success!
Love to you all,
Katie and the Little Lady ;-)
