The doctor informed me today that I am all of 1/2 cm dilated! Wahoo! I'm pretty sure she was just lying to me to keep my spirits up but progress is progress I guess and I'll take what I can get. They are not quite prepared to induce because they said my body is not ready and it would likely end in a c-section. They're bringing us in on Tuesday to do a Non-Stress-Test and an ultrasound to make sure that the baby is okay to continue the overdue pregnancy. At that point, they'll discuss a possible induction if the little Gator is still too comfy in there. We're probably looking at the end of next week or the beginning of the following week although they're still thinking we may go into labor on our own before then. Keep your fingers crossed for us!
I'm pretty sure that the blood pressure people smoke crack. We had the same girl that's done it at most of our appointments and I registered a whopping 150/60...not good. I asked the doctor about it and any dangers being overdue might bring so the doctor re-took it. The result: 110/60. Seriously? 40 points in less than ten minutes? Someone is clearly smoking crack. The problem is that we don't know who. The doctor is not worried about it at all so we're choosing to not worry about it either for the time being.
Nick and I are discussing tomorrow being my last day of work. I'm still trying to decide what I want to do but I've already handed over all of my duties to my replacement so I literally just sit there and chat with people all day. It might be nice to have some time off before the baby but I'm afraid it might make me too ancy and that I'll get bored. One can only take so much daytime TV!
I'm still feeling really good, am not uncomfortable and have no major complaints so I should just count my blessings that things are going well. I try to remind myself of this but it's hard because I just can't wait to meet Allie!
