36 ½ weeks
Exciting news but uneventful….!!!
So I went in yesterday for my regular Dr.’s appt in the middle of the wonderful snowstorm. Yes I just fired up that old GMC threw her in 4WD and away I went down to West Allis. Thank God for Grandpa Frank being retired and coming over to watch the boys. If he only knew when I left that morning that he was going to have them all day he may have reconsidered.
I knew come hell or high water (or snowstorm) I was not going to miss this appt. they were checking my cervix for the first time and I needed to know how close we were to delivery. Well the good news is I’m dilated 3cm, the bad news is nothing else is happening at this point. My doctor wanted me to come back that afternoon to get checked again. She just wanted to make sure before they sent me back home that nothing else was happening. Well I spent 3 hours in Labor and Delivery last night hooked up to monitors watching my two peanuts heart rates beating away. I was having mild contractions but nothing consistent. They wanted to keep me over night because of the storm but I insisted on going home. I was stuck in a room with no TV, no radio and no cell phone reception, I just wanted my bed. It took only an hour to get home and it was worth it when I hit my head on my pillow last night.
So all is well and here I sit, waiting and waiting …for anything to happen. I go in on Friday and we are going to talk induction. So hopefully we will know when the big day will be..!
Praise the Lord you made it past 36 weeks. I know you don't think that but your baby's are so much more ready for the new world that awaits them. I'm looking forward to an update on Friday! God Bless and come on labor (I wanna do some baby shopping)!!!!!!
