3 days and counting... and we have a plan

So here I am still pregnant, I should not complain, b/c even though I am having alot of pressure I am not uncomfortable yet, sleeping is not much fun unless I am on the couch all propped up.

At yesterdays appt we made a game plan, now when you read this do not think I am crazy.

They told me since I have been doing great (much better then last pregnancy) that they would like to let me go on my own b/c I have the ability to have a great labor... they will probably eat their words.

They gave me a choice, to be induced on Monday 6/1 at 10pm, or Friday 6/5 at 7am. Well there are some issues on why we picked the date we did. If we got induced on Monday 6/1 my sister would have to take off work on Tuesday and Dh would have to take a whole bunch of vacation days and my favorite DR will not be there.

We ended up picking Friday 6/5 for induction, why b/c my sister will not have to rearrange her schedule too much, my Dh will only have to take one vacation day and my favorite DR (DR P - Christy you know who I mean ) is on call all that weekend, fri-sun. So we went with that.

I left the office in complete shocked I did not pick Monday b/c that would have been a quicker wait, If I do not go until 6/5 I Will have to take extra maternity leave then I planned but that is OK, I really want my Fav Dr to deliver me b/c we would come full circle, she is the one that saved my fertility with I was 16. She is the reason I can still have kids. (she is on call tomorrow and Friday this week too - so baby feel free to come then also- I tried to convince them I needed to be induced today or Thursday they did not bite)

So if I do not go on my own by Monday 6/1, I will go in for a NST/CST with nipple stimulation (yes my DH thought that was so funny and asked how he can get a job like that - that would be his dream job and he said he was highly qualified - silly man) If that is OK we are set for the 6/5 if things do not look good then we will induce that night.

So at this point it is really up to the baby on what she plans on doing... I want her here so badly, but think I might savor my last few moments pregnant b/c this will probably be my last.

At the moment I am feeling nothing, no contractions or anything, I was sill 1cm in the front of my cervix but she said in the back I am more like 3cm, b/c of the baby putting pressure on my cervix from the back. If my front would just start to dilated more I might be on my way.

We are going to do more walking today, I plan on starting to drink raspberry leaf tea and eating a ton of pineapple. If nothing happens we wait.

I actually wondered if we'd run into each other @ the office yesterday am...I had to go in for 1 last u/s before the DC&E.

So glad you have a plan and that your baby girl will be here soon! I sooooo hope Dr. P is able to deliver for you. Dr. D did my procedure yesterday and I was happy (as I could be) that he did. I didn't email you about me b/c I knew you'd be busy finalizing preps for your little one.

Good luck and keep me posted!!!
