STILL WAITING!!
So I'm over 39 weeks and I am dying to have this baby come into this world. I'm trying to be very patient. I went in for my weekly appointment yesterday and I was hoping that while the MD checked me 1) my water would break 2) I'm close to 10 cm dilated and ready to go. I was so disappointed that neither happened. I then asked her if I could schedule an induction on my due date. She had this look like "you're kidding me!!" SHe said I'd be on a wait list b/c I'm not an urgent case. (She must have never been pregnant before!) And then she added I'm sure you'll go before Wednesday.
Well, I feel like my body likes teasing me. I get these painful contractions but they just end up dying down. They are just taunting me of the pain I'll be facing.
Then I read that babies tend to stay in when the mother is feeling stressed. I don't know how true that is but I've been really tense for the last couple of weeks. So maybe I should go for a mani and pedi and try to relax myself.
Well, maybe I'll have a baby on Mother's day. I would have liked to have been home with all my three children on MD but I really don't have any control. God is really teaching me that He is in control and I really need to submit to his will... not in anxiousness but in contentment. I am reminded how I have such a hard time trusting him. Trust goes hand in hand with Faith... Faith... Faith... hmmmmm (contemplating moment)

A,
I'm the same way. I was dilated too early and now the baby doesn't want to come out. She's totally teasing me:) I've been so anxious for this baby to come out but now I have accepted the fact that she might not come out for a while. I wanted to be induced soon but I am going wait. She'll come out when she's ready. I walked around the King of Prussia mall and ate spicy food yesterday. nothing yet:) Happy Mother's day!
Happy Mother's Day (3 times worth!) Don't worry, the baby will come out one way or another... and when he/she does, you'll be like, "why did I want this baby out of my stomach so badly?" That mani/pedi sure does sound like a good idea, though.
Yeah, the baby will come out when she's ready. For me, N came out when I was really stressed out...plus, I think my doctor did my internal exam a little too hard and started my contractions. Go ahead and get the mani & pedi...you deserve it!
Happy Mother's Day!
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!
hope you had a wonderful one. i keep checking your and j's blog to see if you guys went. looking forward to meeting them soon~
yeah, as for the trust issue, just keep reminding yourself over and over again that HE is in control and that you are not, and that's okay. we weren't meant to have control. that's the best thing that helped me during the last few months. a very difficult lesson to learn...
