Just with a wide variety of issues...age, blood pressure slowly going up in the past few weeks, no progression with dilation or effacement over the past 3 weeks...everything seems fine with Ruby-Jean...she's measuring fine and her heart rate is great and she's still moving around just great and all...grr arr...alien belly! She's been a delight to be pregnant with. I haven't been miserable, I've had relatively no swelling, I avoid the heat like the plague and I don't overdo it. It's been such a wonderful and awesome pregnancy. Yes, I've had a few pains here and there...there was the time around my Bryan shower where I may have overdid it cleaning the house and she then parked on sciatic nerve to remind me to sit my happy but down more and relax...plus it hurts like Hell to get up in the middle of the night to go pee cos either my hip is stuck in pain or she's squishing my full bladder so much that I don't know how to walk...but those are my only complaints. Oh and I waddle slowly...but I don't hate that. I don't know if I've been blinded by wanting to be pregnant for so long or if this truly has been such an easy pregnancy...Either way...it's been awesome. I'm not quite ready for it to end but I want her here...healthy and good.
So here we go...We are planned to go into the hospital Saturday night and do a cytotec assisted induction. Do the cytotec Saturday night to help get my cervix all softened and ready to go for labor. Then Sunday morning we will actually do the actual induction. So by Monday morning at the latest, she'll make her entrance into the world. And then there will be 3 of us. We'll see how well the other children accept her...I already have child gates...people ask me why...I say to keep the dogs away from her...lol...duh...I don't expect her to come out crawling or even scooting...but I want to keep the hellions at bay so she can have some time playing on the floor at some point without licks and noses in her face. :)
OK...and since my last day of work is tomorrow I went ahead and took my last belly shot here at the mirror in the bathroom at work...last one in this dress that I've been taking them mostly in the last few months...last one before she can star in her own...here is the progression since mid June of the Ruby-Jean bump.
Guess that's it for today's post...Next one should have a new adorable face to add to things. :)
