Still no Baby and Taxes are done!
Sunday, February 25, 2007
Well... it is Sunday night. A week ago tonight, we were preparing to go into the hospital to have the baby induced. After 2 1/2 days of trying we stopped and here we are. :)
I'll quote a letter from Holly,
"Subject: I bet you're wondering...if the baby has come yet and you just didn't get notified....the answer is....
HELL NO!
She is evidentally a stubborn thing (I don't know where she gets that from) who is wanting to be fashionably late.
Here's what's going on. I went in to be induced on Monday (as I was already 10 days late) and by Wednesday morning...nothing was progressing. I had the contractions going for two days but there was no dilating of the cervix, so thankfully I got to be sent home. I went to the Dr. that afternoon for an ultrasound and the baby is doing fine but it is showing the placenta is aging therefore the baby needs to come out. I went back to see the Dr. today for an NST (non stress test) where they hook me up to monitors to check the babies heart rate and movements, again she's doing fine and truthfully the Dr. thought I would have had her by now. The current plan (other than the obvious of simply going into labor on my own which my Dr. is convinced won't happen) is to go back for another NST on Tues. afternoon and schedule another induction on Wed. if that doesn't progress again then she's going to do a c-section because by Fri. I will be 43 weeks and she won't let me go that long as it's detrimental for the baby, not to mention my mental health.
Now you are all up to date on what's going on with me and this stubborn baby. I'll keep you posted if anything changes.

On the plus side, I got our taxes done today. Amazing how I put this off and put it off and then do it, and it takes less then a hour... go figure. :)
