So, folks, here's the down low. I went to the doc Monday and had dilated to a whole 1.5 cm (which is absolutely nothing), and I'm 30% effaced (also not much to write home about), and my fundal height is 42 cm. When you put these things together you get a lazy body (on my part) and a big baby. Amazingly, these stats are exactly the same as I was with Addi. The doc said I could wait longer if I wanted, but just looking at the last pregnancy, all she expect to get from waiting is a bigger baby... So do I really want a baby any bigger than Addi was? (Only 8 lbs. 1/2 oz., but still plenty big for me.) Nope, sure don't.
Thus, Friday at 12pm I am being induced. The doc says to expect the baby Saturday night or Sunday morning - with Addi I was induced Friday at 2 pm and delivered Sunday at 5:47 am (yep, that's just about 40 hrs. total). I would like for Baby to be born Sunday, April 6 ... how awesome would that be!? During General Conference weekend at that....
I don't really mind a long labor - it's all I know. I don't mind being induced - again, all I know. I would just like the surprise of, "Oh my, I think I'm going into labor," followed by a rush to the hospital. That would be fun. Maybe I should act it out as such on Friday just for the fun of it .... nah.
Wish me luck! We'll post pics ASAP (because yes, we do have a camera now) and keep y'all updated - heavens, what else am I going to do for 40 hours if not blog?
