At my 39 week appointment last night it became apparent that I am making things too comfortable for Annie so far. She is showing absolutely no signs of wanting to come out on her own. So that led to the discussion of how long do we want to hang in there and see if she changes her mind and decides to come on her own. After discussing how big she is and how bid she could get in the next couple of weeks, and the upcoming Memorial day holiday weekend when the hospital is short staffed, we decided that I will be induced starting next Tuesday night. It is a two parter with cervadil being given Tuesday night, then going back in and being admitted Wednesday morning for the pitocin to be started. Hopefully it will force Annie to decide she wants to come out and meet us after all.
I am kind of glad to have another week to prepare for her arrival, but it is also a little scary knowing that she will be here that soon. And I called Scoop this afternoon and the thought I had was… one week from today I will probably be in a lot of pain right now. I am kind of a whimp when it comes to pain, so I am little freaked out thinking about it. I tend to either pass out or throw up from pain and I am not looking forward to either option.
I just need to keep my eyes on the goal. A happy healthy baby girl in one week.
