We just got back from the dr. She monitored the baby's heartbeat and contractions (I had none while hooked up), then she did an ultrasound to check the amniotic fluid levels. The baby is doing very well and there's lots of fluid left. So, the plan is that I will go into labor on my own soon! If not, then I'll go back to the dr. on Tuesday to monitor again - if I need to be induced then, I will. If not, then I will definitely be induced on Wednesday. The dr. said she will break my water first and see if that does the trick, if not, then she'd hook me up to pitocin.
My parents are disappointed, I think, that we have to keep waiting. But they got to hear the heartbeat for quite a while and see the baby on the ultrasound, which was exciting.
My doctor prescribed eating gelato tonight and making plans to go out of town and then maybe the baby will come. I love my doctor - she also wrote me a prescription to go part-time at work about a month ago.
About Me
- Megan
- I live in Oregon, but recently came from Florida, where I grew up. I love having seasons and mountains to watch here. I am married to the gorgeous and multi-talented John and am Mama to baby Ruby. I stay home with her rather than teaching young children in school as I used to do. Now I find myself having much more time and energy to explore my creative side that was always dormant until the summer months when teaching. I will share my adventures in mothering, knitting, baking, reading, and the products of all of the time that has been used up on the internet. Besides that, I spend my time walking in sun or in rain, practicing yoga, organizing a monthly craft show and otherwise procrastinating so I don’t have time to clean.

I took Anne on a five-mile walk and that did the trick. Praying for you guys. I know Lynn's going crazy.
