Good morning - we are still here. We have two more gel treatments today. Each take about 2 hours long. I now know that the Birth Center is not a place where you are seen right away - at least not for this treatment. I am assuming that the actual labor will be different. haha - I sure hope so.

Again, this is a reminder of how I need to be patient. Yesterday was not a very patient day for me. I am just so excited and anxious, so all of this constant waiting is very difficult. Thanks to the few that I talked to (or vented to) yesterday. I plan on being much calmer and more patient and hopefully more myself today.

Let's go baby!

Official due date is today!

Happy Due Date Day everyone!

I had a Dr.'s appointment first thing this morning. This week my Dr. wasn't as impressed with my progress as she has been in the past. I am still at 2 and 80%. The problem is that my cervix hasn't ripened yet. Ripening is brought on by contractions and I have not had enough of them for that to happen.

So Dr. Chang is having me head over to the Birth Center (Hospital) this afternoon for my first gel treatment. The gel should help with the ripening process and starts the contractions going. She is going to have me do a treatment 2 times a day for 3 days. She does not think it will take that long, but wanted to make sure I was able to get in for the treatment if needed. The gel could bring on the labor this afternoon or after a few treatments (still a waiting game). If we still haven't had the babes by Friday, I need to call the DR and she will schedule an induction.

I have never heard of this gel stuff or the ripening of the cervix. It's all new to me:) Anyway - just wanted to let you know the progress and the plan. Stay tuned for baby updates.

April Fools!

APRIL FOOLS!!!

Did I trick you????

Have a good night, wish us luck and say a prayer...tomorrow is our due date. I have Dr.'s apt at 8 and we need all of the good labor thoughts we can get.

Tuesday – STILL NO baby – other great news!

Still waiting…something I am still not very good at – at all!

I have continuing to try my best to keep busy. Anyway, so I got my nails done last night and then went and bought a couple of gossip magazines and some scratch off lotto tickets. Mickey was watching the Twins game and I thought this would keep me entertained for a while. I flipped through the magazine for a bit and looked at the pictures then I busted out the 4 tickets I bought. I am a huge fan of the Cross word games; I can make one of those things last a good 15 minutes. ANYWAY – I won!!! Yes, it was my 3rd ticket and I won and I won big! Big enough that I put in my notice here at work. I won the $20,000 prize!!! I have wanted to stay home with our baby so badly and now it is possible, at least for the first year. My official last day at work will be July 7th. This way I will still get my maternity leave and come back for a week to clean up things, have the 4th off and then I am done! I can’t believe it! Anyway – maybe it is a blessing that our baby girl hasn’t arrived yet – otherwise I may not have been out buying magazine and tickets last night. We’ll keep you updated on her arrival! Woo Hoo!

Monday - no babes yet

It was nice weekend. Went out for dinner/lunch, did some shopping, hang out with my family, went for a walk, watched several movies, did some cleaning, but no baby this weekend. Thanks Mickey and everyone who helped distract me, I needed it.

I found myself writing a blog yesterday morning and Mickey came in the room as I was doing so. He read over my shoulder and shook his head. It was kind of negative. I was venting about my frustration and what I wish would just happen. After thinking about it – he was right. So I decided not to post it.

I need to stay positive and know that she will come when she is ready. Like my boss said – I bet she is just holding out for that diamond birthstone now. Can you blame her really? Haha….

Well – have a great Monday. Enjoy the snow storm coming today :)
