I am now 37.5 weeks and totally in the clear. Our baby girl is looking healthy and can come at anytime. I am currently at a 3 and 80% and ready to go says midwife. It could be tonight or 3 weeks from now but either way, everyone is predicting a fast labor which I will take. Our life has been a little crazy lately and I am sure one we are more "settled" we will give an official life update but for now I will say every major change that could happen is happening or going to happen. It's crazy how everything seems to collide around the same time. Rick has to travel tonight and will be gone for less than 24 hours and the big hope is that this little girl doesn't surprise us tonight while he is gone. My midwife said I should try hard not to be up and walk too much just to be on the safe side because she doesn't think he would make it back in time. Thanks again to everyone who has supported us lately and through this bed rest ordeal; we are thankful to be on the other side and officially be in the "waiting" game.
Yesterday morning it snowed here in Portland and Ariy loved playing in it. Here are a few pics:
For those mommy's out there. I have a couple questions. I am hoping for a VBAC and was induced 5 days after Ariy's due day via breaking my water. He needed to come out because my blood pressure was creeping up. This time around, my biggest hope is simply to go into labor on my own. I would love a successful VBAC but more than that I really don't want to end up being induced. Did any of you do anything to get labor going? What did you try? Did you feel like anything actually worked?
Go to Target and eat some Pinkberry... that will get your labor started :) I was I had better advice, but I don't know!
