Just like with M, this baby sits high- apparently it's dark and tight in my pelvis and not so comfy, so my babies prefer to float. That's fine I suppose. Dr. M wasn't at the hospital yesterday, she was at an all day meeting...it was just a stupid mistake some office lady made. Of course, but whatever.
Today's appointment showed no changes which didn't surprise me in the least. That's ok. They're having a party for us at work this weekend anyway- so who'd want to miss it?! She didn't strip my membranes because he was sitting so high- neither of us wanted to risk a prolapsed cord and a brain damaged baby. I was also concerned that he was getting too big, but she thinks he's pretty average size- most likely bigger than M, but not too big. She thinks we probably have quite a bit of fluid since he's so floaty. That's good to hear.
I admit- I am also worried that this child's birth will go worse than it could because my anxiety may get the best of me. She knows this however, so I am hoping she'll help me out in this area. I am thinking about scheduling a massage and pedicure on Monday to help too. We talked and decided that I will come in on Monday (due date) with B and we'll discuss what we want to do from there. We can sit on him for awhile longer, or we can go ahead and induce the next day, wed or thurs- as we wish really. Robin is off on Thurs so I think out of niceness I'll try to avoid that for her.
I still don't want to induce, but I'm coming around...my thoughts are this: I just want him to be ready. According to MY calculations, M should have been due on the 27th...the dr's gave us a 25th due date. She STARTED to come on the 28th. Turns out I was closer than they were. According to my calculations this time he should be due on the 2nd...they gave me the 3rd as the date. So really- he should be ready by the 3rd. Any day after that I think will be ok.
So nothing exciting to report- sorry!!! I was thinking about working tomorrow, but I think I won't. I don't really want to. There are too many dying children there. I'll wait til the weekend! So that's that!

Even after being induced, going through 13 hours of labor and then c-section - I don't regret a bit of it...and you won't either. No matter how it goes - the end result is what matters and he will be worth it!!!
Miss you - and we're praying for a baby at any time (sooner than later of course)!!! Keep us updated!
