1 more day....

I'm getting induced on Monday which means....one more full day and my baby girl will be here. Provided she decides she wants to come out when they induce. My doctor told me on Thursday that I am now 50% effaced, but still 1 cm dilated. Hopefully, everything works out fine and by the end of Monday, I will have my little one in my arms. I can't wait!!!!

1 more to go...

Today I have my last appointment before my induction on Monday. I'm so excited that I'm so close to holding her. I'm hoping she decides to come on her own, but at least I know the process will begin on Monday if nothing else.

Today I am just meeting with the doctor. No non stress test (as far as I know) and no ultrasound. Hopefully she will tell me I have dilated a little more. I'm nervous to be induced if I haven't dilated more since I've been at 1 cm for 2 weeks. I don't want it to cause a longer labor if she isn't ready.

Got an interesting fortune message in my cookie last night.....hoping it's an omen that I will go into labor today...

Day One of Bed Rest.

It's noon and I feel like this is the longest day ever. I have so much trouble just sitting here doing nothing. I updated my iPod with music for when I am at the hospital and now I'm listening to Florence + the Machine. I love that woman. Her voice just is completely amazing. It's definitely kept me from doing anything cause I'm so caught up in her music.

I've had a little more pain today but only when I have to get up and walk. I also had quite a bit of discomfort when I was trying to sleep last night, but that's not anything new. I have been sleeping on the couch for the past 3 weeks. I go between there and the bed and I just can't get comfortable. I'm so ready for this whole pregnancy thing to be done. I want her here and in my arms. I just keep reminding myself that all the discomfort is totally worth it in the end.

Excuse Me While I Ralph.

Ah, yes. The nausea has begun. Luckily, this week hasn't been so bad, but this past weekend sucked as far as how I felt. Drank a bunch of ginger ale and had some ginger chews and I felt much better. Have had a few cramps the past few days but nothing big.

My hubby, Mike, and I are going to our first appointment next Tuesday. I can't wait. :) I just want to know everything is going ok. It's still weird to think there's a baby growing inside me. I don't feel much different.

I haven't taken anymore tests where as the last one was fairly dark. I just wanted that dark definite line.

A lot of people have told us they think we are going to have a girl. Although, I've had a few tell me they think it's going to be a boy. We decided that we are going to find out though when we can.

Not much else on the baby front right now, but I will definitely update you on Tuesday! :)

"Tell Them What They've Won!"..

...A whopping pile of uncertainty and a side of impatience! Why thank you!

Ok so here's the deal. The past 3 days I've been super nauseous and getting cramps. I don't usually get cramps until the day my period is due and I still have about 5 days until I'm supposed to start. And I never get nauseous during my cycle. So I decided to take a test last night. There was a VERY faint line. So faint that I couldn't tell if it was actually there. So therefore, not quite sure if it is a faint positive or just an evap line. I took another test this morning since they say it's more potent first thing. And that faint line was there again. If I still get the line throughout the week then I will go to my doctors for a blood test.

Other than that, not much going on. I am going crazy with all the school work this week. Can't wait until finals are over. I probably won't be writing too much this week due to that, but if I get any news I will definitely update and share. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. :)
