Still no baby, just another disappointing visit...

I was really hoping something would come of all the contractions I had last night, but nothing much. I am now thinned to 90% and still dilated the same.... We went ahead and scheduled me an induction for May 8th, next Thursday, because my doctor is going to be out of town the following week and my brother is getting married that same week too. I really hope she comes before then though, because I really don't want to be induced. I just don't like the idea of it. Again, I will just have to wait and see I will keep you posted if anything comes up.

Due Date is here and no baby yet...

I wish that your due date was a guaranteed date that you will have you baby at least by this date. I guess that is not how it works though. I do have to say though, I was really excited, because I was awakened by contractions all night last night and the only time that I never have contractions is while I am laying down. I am still having some this morning, but I am just not convinced yet, because they just don't seem to be painful enough. I guess I will just have to keep waiting, but I do have a doctors appointment today, so I am going to cross my fingers......

This weeks news...

Well...... again, hoping for more. Still almost 2cm (he called it 1 and 7/8 cm, I think he should just give me credit for the whole 2). I am now 80% effaced, but the doctor did say that the baby has dropped almost to -2 station and last week it was at a -4. So just about the same amount of progress as last week. I guess we'll see again...

1 Week!!

I am so glad that I have one week to go..... I feel like this month has been an eternity. Last night, Matt and I went to Heber, to do some work for my dad, and at dinnertime, I suggested that we walk to go get food (it was a few more blocks then I had thought...haha). Anyway, it was probably quite entertaining for Matt, because for the last little while whenever I stand or walk, I am having a Braxton Hick contraction. It has quite confused me though, because it isn't really like having contractions....just one long contraction with ups and downs, no breaks. The only time they go away is when I am sitting or laying down, and even then, I am getting them. But when we were walking I got 2 extremely painful contractions (including sharp back pain, and I wasn't able to walk through it 100%). I was so excited at first thinking this has got to do something.... but unfortunately sitting down for dinner ruined everything. I don't know what to think, but Matt teases me that I am not even going to know when I am in really labor, because whenever I am up and around having contractions, I just try ignore them figuring that the are not real, because I hate getting my hopes up. I don't like even trying to time them, because that just makes me even more frustrated. Well I have a doctors appointment today at 4:00, so when I get back I will give an update about what he has to say.

This weeks appointment...

This week was not as promising as last week, but I guess you never know. I am now dilated to almost 2 cm and thinned 70%. So some progress, but I have to admit I was a little disappointed that it didn't turn out like my last appointment. We will just have to wait and see...

Progress!!

I am excited, I went to my 37 week appointment today. Last week was the first week that the doctor checked to see if I had made any progress and I had dilated to just a tiny over a centimeter, but I had not thinned at all. This week he seemed surprised that I have dilated to about 1 1/2 centimeters, but more importantly thinned to almost 60%. He said that that was really good progress and wouldn't be surprised if she came early. He also said that she is right in position. I am not going to get my hopes up, but I was pleased with the progress, especially since last week he told me that she would most likely come at my date or even a week after.
