Baby watch 2011

So I'm officially full term and am ready to have this baby. I didn't think that would happen, but I have almost everything ready for her to come. Her room is ready, I have Cole's ridicoulously long indepth OCD schedule hanging on the fridge for whoever is watching him, someone set up for every time of the day to watch Cole when I go into labor, my bag isn't packed...but I have a list of everything that needs to go in it. Oh, and I am so stinking uncomfortable that helps me feel ready to have her:)

I had my first internal check last week at 36 weeks 4 days and I was already 1 almost 2 cm dilated and 50% effaced. I was shocked. I never progressed on my own with Cole until they induced me. This week I was 2 cm dilated, 60% effaced and she is REALLY low. That would explain the unbelievable amount of pressure I feel. I asked if he thinks I will make it to my due date and he said with my history I will probably make it pretty close. I hate this whole waiting game. He did say if she wasn't here in 2 appointments I can schedule to be induced. I really don't want to be given pitocin again, especially if my epidural doesn't work again, but at that point I don't have too much of a choice.

So here's a pic send off to baby watch '11:)

  1. I was just thinking yesterday about how you're full term and wondering when this little girl would make her arrival! I'm sending plenty of labor inducing thoughts your way!

  2. Aww,thank you so much. I will take all I can get:) I can't believe you're 15 weeks already. Doesn't time fly with your second? When do you find out what you're having?

  3. Well, my next appointment is tomorrow and that's when I'll schedule my 20 week u/s. So, I'm guessing somwhere around September 20/21st! I cannot wait. So look for a poll on the blog tomorrow afternoon. Haha!
