My weekly appointment with the doctor was yesterday. After sitting in the lobby for an hour, I finally got called back, and for what, nothing! No changes....I am still 1 cm and about 50% effaced. Granted, I don't really want to go early. I actually want to go 3 days late. I want to have Dylan on May 11th, Mother's day, as I think that would be the coolest Mother's day present ever. However, a little piece of me would like to see some kind of progress. My doctor said she could thin my membranes if I wanted her to, to speed up labor, but I told her no thanks. She said, you could go any day now. I then told her that I would see her next Monday. I am convinced that he's not coming early.
All that said, my friend, Jill, is on her way to the hospital as I type. Jill, you may remember, is a friend of mine who's due date was May 12th. However, she's going to be induced tomorrow. Her baby, Cole, has been measuring small, and they did another ultrasound on him today and he was about 5 1/2 lbs, so they thought it best to induce. Please say some prayers for her.
Now, our other friend, Dana, has a due date of May 12th as well. She's been at 3 cm for 2 weeks and she has her next appointment tomorrow. I cannot wait to find out if she has made any progression. This is her second child, so she's going to go faster than us rookies. Who knows, her and Jill can be in the hospital at the same time.
I guess I could too, in all actuality, but I do not want to go tomorrow. I have signed up to sub for the middle school and it would be quite embarrassing to have my water break in front of an 8th grade class. Talk about sex education. I thought today was going to be last day to work, but I couldn't resist, so I signed up for more. The other teachers think I am begging to go early teaching for 8th grade. Let's pray I don't get "hormonal" on them. The class I had Friday, that was so bad, told the teacher that I was pregnant and hormonal. Funny they were the only class of the day that I was hormonal with....the other classes were perfect.
