Well, just got home from my weekly drs appointment. Good news is I lost 2 lbs… which is some miracle because we celebrated thanksgiving twice and I over indulged in some ice cream goodness last night. I was sure I would be up 5 lbs this week!
Also, I am now 3cm and 60-70% effaced!! It took 2 weeks to go from 1-2cm but only took 2 days to go from 2-3cm!!!! WOOHOO!!! So, 1 cm to work for an epidural and 7 to work for the finale. Sounds a whole lot better than working for 10 cm 😁.
Dr asked my thoughts about induction this Thursday if I’m not in active labor during my NST on Wednesday. I asked him his medical reasoning since I was sort of expecting to schedule something for next week; not 3 days out. He said that I have too much fluid around the baby and I’m now at 3cm dilated. However, he is comfortable with waiting if I decide to wait. But, if I’m super uncomfortable and would like to have this baby soon he has enough medical reason to do so. Well, I told him as much as I selfishly would like to induce, I think I would feel better waiting. I said I’m just worried about the baby being TOO big. He said he doesn’t think that should be a concern- he said I’m progressing exactly how I should be at 38 weeks. And if I want to wait, then he is more than happy to wait. I told him I would think about it but I may change my mind, depending. I’m hoping Mother Nature will make up my mind for me and just get the party started between now and then.
Oh man, I can’t believe all of this is happening!!! ❤️

Yay!! Seriously any minute now! I dont think you will still be pregnant by next week. That is great progress!
Thank you!! I’m having some contractions tonight but so far they are 15 min apart. Although.. the other day they got to be 7 min apart and then fizzled out. Granted they weren’t too strong, but… blah! I think my uterus has had enough practice runs; it’s been going on for two months now!! Haha
