Be careful what you wish for . . .

Okay. So the doctor must have been inspired to order a non stress test. I went in and the nurse was giving me an ultrasound and then she said, "how would you like to go to the hospital today?" Long story short, the baby's fluid was low so they sent me to be induced. Got to the hospital at noon. Received a hormone to release my hormones at 1:30pm which stayed in for 13 hours. Nothing was happening so I received another dose at 2:30am. Went for a walk at 3:30am. My water broke at 4:15am. I was dilated to a 5 by 9am, to a 9.5 by 11am, and she was born at 1:32pm. Things went pretty quickly once they started! Sophia Ellen Moore was born on August 29th at 1:32pm. She weighed 7 lbs 11oz and was 20.75 inches long. She is beautiful! Pictures to come.

C'mon. Seriously!

So, after the doctor spent about 2 minutes with me, I have not changed at all. Still one centimeter. I have a non stress test tomorrow and Tuesday. Induction scheduled for Friday, Sept 4th. I really really hope it doesn't come to that. All of those tricks people tell you about do not work! I guess your body just has to be ready. I am quite frustrated, if you can't tell.

39 weeks and counting...

Here is a new picture. I am 39 weeks. I think I look bigger than this picture shows. It must be the slimming black dress :)

Baby Update

So I went to the doctor today. I am 50% effaced and 1 centimeter dilated. She could come tonight or not for a while. Next appointment is on the 27th, one day before I am due. I hope I don't need that appointment! :)
