i've been feeling awfully irritable lately. i think i've reached the end of my pregnancy rope. i went to the dr. yesterday and was so disappointed to hear that i'm only dilated, maybe 2 cm. all that getting up every morning at 5 to walk 4 or so miles and that's ALL!? i really thought it is was supposed to help move things along faster/earlier. oh well. hopefully i'll be in better shape because of it if nothing else.
if i don't have baby this weekend, i am scheduled to be induced on monday. i was hesitant to blog about this because mommies can sometimes get real nasty and judgmental about how other mommies handle their pregnancies, but, well there it is. i've been induced three times before, so i know the drill. being GBS positive, i prefer to be given the antibiotics than have them given to Hazel, which is what would happen if i had too fast of a labor.
also, having a date to look to helps us plan for the kiddos a little better. Brian's parents are coming sunday night and will be with the kids first. my mom will take over after they leave.
it is a releif to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
it was kind of weird to make my 6 week appointment yesterday. i'll miss seeing Dr. Love and his nurses and staff. to me that's always the bittersweet part of finally delivering the baby. you get so accustomed to seeing these people every week.
i guess i could still have Hazel before monday, but i'm not counting on it. we're going out to the Redeemer family campout at Inks Lake this weekend and hope to get in a lot of hiking. yes, probably crazy for a 4o week pregnant woman to do, but i guess i'm just crazy. i'd rather be out doing than sitting around waiting for something to happen.
maybe next time i blog i'll have pictures of the Wells 2011 model.
You and the kids look SO Cute for Halloween! Love it!! I commend you for all your exercise with your pregnancy girl!! i get very lazy and in a bad mood pretty much the entire 9 months when i'm prego. Hopefully if I have another I will be inspired by your example!! As for being induced, i totally understand, as I was induced w/ both of mine at full term....NEVER went into labor and had 8.5 and almost 9 lb boys each time. way too big for a 5'1" person!!! It stinks, but w/ having had your 4 already, i'm sure it will move alot at a good pace for you. my 2nd took 1/2 the time my 1st did!! Can't wait to see pics of Hazel!! Much love, Court
