they say the darnedest things! Last night we were laying in bed watching tv and talking about how we're going to have a baby soon, it has come so fast, etc. I said something along the lines of Carter is going to need an eviction notice and I really thought he would have been here by now. Joe says "he's lazy like his dad". It could not have been funnier. I said I was going with "stubborn like his momma".
Had my 39 week appointment yesterday. BP was high... again. Seems every other time it's high. Dr says "do you want to have a baby today?" me "um, I don't know!" (while in my head I'm thinking, yes I kinda do, but oh my god is this for real?!) They checked for protein and rechecked my BP. Dr came back and said I was "off the hook, no need to have baby today"
2cm, 80% effaced and a membrane sweep to possibly get things moving. They say a membrane sweep is 50/50. Based on either stubbornness or laziness I'm not too hopefully I'll fall on the 50% of the time it works :) But time will tell!
Next appointment is on MARCH 18TH. Carter's DUE DATE! If no baby by then we'll start talking an induction. Apparently I am "inducible" but that natural labor is much better so she's holding out for that. She told me I could drink some castor oil..... no thanks.
In the mean time I'm making sure to enjoy my sleep and showers as much as possible. From what I hear those are the first two things to go after a new baby.
