No Baby

Sad times.. I was pretty much convinced that I would have to stay at the hospital to be induced yesterday. That was not the case. I've been drinking tons of water (and some sweet tea), so the little lady had plenty of fluids to swim around in. Now we're back to playing the waiting game. 


I have an appointment a week from today, where I'm hoping I can talk to the doctor about an induction. Let's just hope that she's receptive to the idea.. When I first started going to appointments, the doctors made it seem like an induction at 38 or 39 weeks was almost certainly going to happen. Since my blood pressure has leveled out since then, it hasn't been discussed at all. 

Having the appointment yesterday forced me to get my hospital bag packed. So now it's ready to go. Since I didn't stay at the hospital, I also had a chance to come back home and finally get all the clothes in newborn and 0-3 sizes washed. 

Today is the start of John's weekend. While he's home, I'm going to have him help me finish up furniture movements and setting up bedding. Even though it was only a three day week, it feels like it lasted forever.

  1. the longer the baby stays in the better, right? I mean, it's good that she's able to!

  2. It's good that your blood pressure is under control. Praying that she arrives safely (and that her middle name will be Elisa) whenever she gets here!

  5. Glad fluid levels are back where they should be, and everything is going smooth. As far as induction goes, I know some hospitals actually will not induce before a certain point unless there is medical necessity, so that might be something you'd need to find out.
