Due Date
So today is our due date, but since none of you have heard your phones ringing from us lately, Braden isn’t here. Yet. My last appointment was on Thursday and the doctor said everything is going really well. He is growing and moving very well. However, I was only about 1 cm dilated and with 9 cm to go, it seems like it could be a while. We asked about induction and she said that since I am not very far progressed (internally) it would be a very long painful process that could potentially end in a c-section, which I would not really like. So this gave us our answer that we had been praying would be obvious to us. We are going to let this little guy come when he’s ready. My next appointment is this coming Thursday, so unless he comes by then, we are going back to Dr. Anstine. I will be almost 41 weeks then and they don’t let women go over 42 weeks (higher sickness/death rate for both moms and babies) so we will probably schedule a time to go in for an induction during the following week in case he still hasn’t come.
Kevin and I are trying to be patient but it is so hard! We can’t wait to meet our son! We are curious as to who he is going to look like, what kind of baby he will be and how long those legs are! So pray for us and our patience levels. And while you are at it, pray that he comes soon! We’d really appreciate it! Hope the next time you hear from us we will be telling you how beautiful he is and all his birth stats.
