LOL... and I'm seriously okay with it. I had my 39week, 4day check-up today and my cervix is completely closed still. My doctor doesn't seem to think my body is going to do this on its own so here's the plan: NST on Friday at 8:00am to check her heartbeat and any contractions I may be experiencing... Sunday, we head to L&D for some cervical softening gel (sexy), I'll be monitored for a bit and then sent home... Monday we return to L&Dfor our (well, my) Pitocin drip (and Penicillin). !!!! That's right, after my ranting about inductions, I'm being induced. lol IRONY--I does it. But, I'm okay with it. I know she is ready, but my body apparently isn't. And I know my doctor is being cautious because of the whole Group B strep thing and hypothyroid crap and what not. And I appreciate that... and I trust my doctor 100%. (He's also the one who predicted when Adrienne would be here, and he was right.) Besides, I didn't beg for this; I didn't even bring it up, the doctor did. And we'll be 40weeks, 3 days so I know she'll be "cooked" as my mom put it when I told her the plan.
Matt seems to be excited (obviously). But I think knowing that the doctor doesn't expect her here before then and there's a good, solid plan in place, he's more relaxed. So I get one final week of work in (my last with Christina--I could cry) and Matt gets the rest of this week plus the weekend and then he's taking 2 weeks off; I get 7. And now I have time to finish the book I just started (haha) and honestly, I know she could still make an appearance on her own, but, I doubt it. I'd be totally and completely shocked (as everyone else would be). So now we just take it one day at a time... as we have been this entire time so far.
**panic attack to start in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1... just kidding... that'll come later**
