Okay I know it has been a long time since I have wrote anything in my blog, almost a month. Here is what has been going on....
I have been super busy just with everyday life stuff, getting everything completely ready for Paige's arrival, Dr's appointments, spending extra time with my love and family.
On 6/1/11 I went to another follow up obgyn appointment, it went pretty good. I had the Dr check to see if I was dilated because I have been cramping and having a lot of contractions (I was pretty sure that's what they were lol!) He said that I am dilated to a 2, that was kind of exciting to hear because that meant that I am beginning the delivery process. I weighted 134 pounds and measured where I should be. I asked how big Paige was and he would not tell me exactly except that she was growing. You could tell that he was doing alot of thinking and told us to do alot of walking, stair climbing and sex to see if we can get everything moving forward. (Ben was really excited about the sex part, he said I told you so..) Whatever! I have my next appointment this next Friday we will see what the Dr says, he acted like he was going to schedule to get induced if she does not come real soon.
What has happened in the week in between my appointments:
I have been having more and more contractions. We have been walking everyday and I have been bouncing and stretching on my moms exercise ball. Ben's mom is coming out this week to be here for the delivery. On Wed. in the middle of the night I had leaked alot of fluid and was really nervous that it was amniotic, so was really anxious to go to my Dr's apt to see what he said.
On 6/10/11 I had my next obgyn appointment, I was a little nervous I have to admit because i was thinking all week that he was going to induce so I have been real anxious to see what he says. Well he checked me again and I am still dilated to a 2. The Cervix has softened a little bit more which is good, but he said "you wont be having her this weekend." I was bummed to hear all of that. I told the Dr that I had been leaking, so he checked by doing a swab and said it is either not enough on the swab or it is not amniotic fluid. He wants to see me this next Friday and if I do not have her by then, then on Sat he is going to induce. :(
Really hope I have have her on my own this week.
The Dr also sent me across the street to the hospital to have an ultra sound done to check the fluid around her just because I said I was leaking and also to have a belly monitor put on to see/monitor my contractions. The belly monitor said that I was having contractions every 2-3 minutes but very mild. Every time that I was having a contraction Paige's heart rate would increase some and my stomach would flatten out right at my belly button. (that is pretty funny looking). The ultrasound showed that my amniotic fluid was 8.4. The normal should be 10-12, so I was under the normal. The Dr would normally admit if it was 8. So I was a little nervous about that because obviously I am leaking and it was pretty close to admitting and I was shocked that he did not want me to go get retested in a few days just to make sure it had not gone down more but he didn't say anything.
So I left the hospital. Ben decided that he was going to start his vacation now since the baby could come anytime and also because his mom is here. So it has been really nice having him home.
On 6/11/11 I woke up this morning with Horrible back and hip pain, I was in tears. Ben felt so bad, he was so sweet to me he rubbed both for me. Then just had a bad day all day, did not feel good day.. Then in the evening I had horrible contractions. Ben was timing them they were every 5 to 7 minutes and anywhere from 30 seconds to 1 and half minutes so I thought between waking up with my back and hips hurting and then the contractions almost dead on that I was for sure going to have her tonight. I went to bed to take a nap and the next thing I knew the contractions completely stopped... grrrr! so irritating.
On 6/12/11 Felt okay today didn't do too much. In the evening again I had horrible contraction about the same as last night.. and again it turned into nothing! They stopped when I was going to bed. I cannot believe this. I am so uncomfortable and ready to have her and she is just not having it.
Well that has been my excitingness the last couple of weeks.. I am now hoping that she is going to come in the next 4 days or the Dr is going to induce.. I am really hoping that I can do it on my own but so far doesn't look like it.. trying to stay positive, but it is kind of hard. The sooner she gets here the longer Ben's mom will be able to spend more time with her before she has to leave which I know she would love. And now Ben is on vacation too and he would like her to get here so he can spend as much time with her before he goes back to work in 3 weeks.
So only one thing to say right now.. HURRY UP PAIGE!!! Everyone is ready! lol!! :)
I will keep everyone posted as soon as something changes.
