Belly at 41 Weeks...




We made a dry run to the hospital today. Since I was having so many contractions my doctor told me to get checked out at the hospital. Mike, mom, and I went there around 3pm and I got hooked up to the monitors. They checked for amniotic fluid and found none. They checked for dilation and there was none...but I swear the nurse touched my vocal cords when she did the check. By 4pm we were on our way home. I was told that unless the contractions are painful I should not waste my time timing them. All the sleep Mike and I didn't get the past few nights was all for nothing. We're putting the stopwatch away!
I can safely say that we will definitely have a baby by next Thursday. We are scheduling an induction for Wednesday the 23rd...hopefully that will not take place and it will happen before then. My Mom is getting very impatient waiting for this baby...I won't lie - I am slightly impatient as well. The 8 gallons of wine we bought 2 days ago is almost gone! Maybe that's why the baby won't come out. My mom has cleaned my whole house and I just put her on bedrest because she is sore and her wrist is wrapped up in an ace bandage. How is she going to hold the baby like that?

QUIT DRINKING THE WINE! The baby must be sleeping! Ha!Ha! Seriously though I hope she comes herself before induction. I'll keep looking for the baby picture with you holding her. By the way, tell Mom I said hello and I hope she feels better.
