here we are 37 weeks officially. i am supposed to be induced 2 weeks from today on the 39 week mark, but i would like to speak with my doctor about the actual day when i see her this thursday, bc i would like to get the process started a day or two prior to that.
i've been doing my best to stay semi active, i've been taking walks, sitting on the yoga ball, doing house cleaning - i vacuumed for the first time in a lonnnng time today, running after sofia to try to bring on labor. i'm not touching castor oil, and sex is off the table with all of the emotional shit going on around here.
i have to admit that i know i will miss feeling her crazy movements inside of me, though some of them have become uncomfortable because she feels so big. i know she won't be when she arrives, but she feels that way.
i would LOVE to go into labor naturally and be able to avoid the medications and laboring completely at the hospital, and my biggest hesitation about being induced is that my labor won't progress and i'll need a c-section. so i'm really hoping that doesn't happen, but if it does, it does.
looking fwd to meeting baby (clearly) and welcoming some joy into this rough patch of life.
wishing you all the happiest, healthiest, most fertile new year.
eat it 2012.
im totally ready for you 2013... or so i think ;o)
Here's to hoping your little one arrives on her own without issue :) Good luck over the next two weeks. And happy new year!
