When I first put my Lilypie Ticker on my blog, I think it read "About 280 days to go." It now says "10 days to go." Why does it seem like these last 10 days are going to feel about as long as the last 270??? Patience is definitely not my strong point.
Hubby and I just got back from the weekly rendezvous with the OB. Still 1cm. Still 75% effaced. Head at -2 station. Baby is way too comfortable in there.
And, ironically, after weeks and weeks of anxiety about having a bad placenta and, thus, a baby that may be too small, the first thing the OB said to us was, "wow, the baby is growing great, now we just have to make sure she doesn't get too big." Oh, the irony.
The one bit of good news, and I warn you in advance about TMI, is that she said I've lost most of my mucus plug. Gross, I know, but a good sign. She also said that March 29th - one week past my due date - is the last day they'll let Baby stay in there before induction. And that they'd be willing to consider induction at any point after 40 weeks. But we're really hoping that won't be necessary.
Oh, the agony of waiting but, oh, the joy we know that awaits us!

That irony is funny. :-D They were so worried about the baby being too small. I have a feeling she'll be the perfect size. Only 10 days left! I'm sure those last days are the hardest though. Thinking of you.
ReplyDeleteThat is just too funny...can't believe you're down to ten days...but you're right...it does seem "far away"!! Especially with all we went through to get preggo...waiting nearly a year after finding out we are FINALLY preggo is still torture!!!
ReplyDeleteKeep us updated as you progress!!
Ooooo.... you are so so close! I cannot WAIT for the post that is coming so soon! Emma is going to be just perfect- not too small, not too big. Just right. :)
ReplyDeleteYou're almost there! I can't wait to see your exciting post announcing the arrival of Miss Emma! :-)
ReplyDeleteAre you sure it's only 10 more days? If your body is as reluctant to deliver the baby as mine is, you could be looking at 17! They didn't say anything to me about not wanting her to get too big though. I wonder if my doc thinks I have "child-bearing hips" and didn't want to tell me as much?
ReplyDelete:) you can do it! 10 days of sleep! :) how exciting though... :)
ReplyDeleteOh, the irony of it all! But at least you are almost there....soooo close:) hang in there!!
ReplyDeleteI feel like any day I could check your blog and Emma will be here! I'm glad to hear that she is growing well. Hoping these next days of waiting will hurry by so you can welcome her!
ReplyDeletei bet she'll come on her own in the next couple of weeks, hopefully no induction necessary, although induction probably wouldn't be too bad either.
