We went back to the doctor today (Tuesday) and the baby is still doing very well-happy and cozy. This time when I was hooked up to the fetal monitor, I had several contractions, but none strong enough for me to feel. I'm still only 1 cm dilated, so we're going to induce tomorrow morning. The doctor said she'll hook me up to Pitocin (a hormone that mimics the natural one that stimulates labor). We were hoping she could just break my water and that would be enough, but she said because I'm only 1 cm, I need something stronger.
I'm not quite sure how we'll sleep tonight, but hopefully I'll get some rest.
Wish us luck! The next time you check the blog you should see some baby pictures...finally!!!
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.
