Doctor's appointment yesterday--she asked if I had thought anymore about getting induced. I said I had and would schedule it for next week but really wanted to try and get him to come on his own to prevent a potential c-section. She agreed. So I asked if she would strip my membranes..which she easily agreed to. With Emma, I got contractions immediately and 24 hours later my water broke. Well, my appointment was yesterday at 9:30, I have felt only a few contractions but no major discomfort. I do not see my water breaking in the next 3 hours. Huge bummer! In hindsight, I was almost 40 weeks with E and hadn't progressed at all; whereas I am already a 3 (even if I have been for 2 weeks) and I am at 38 weeks. I guess he is just not ready to join us yet. I will be doing lots of walking thru the week-end to try and persuade him to come out and meet us.
If you are on Facebook, you probably have noticed the maternity pictures we took last week. We went to Jennings Distinct Images out of St. Cloud (she actually lives closer to St. Joe). The few pictures on Facebook are just a sneak peak of what is to come, I am hoping to see them in the next 2 weeks or so. Emma wasn't smiling a whole lot for us so I was happy to have one good family pic, and I love the pic of her laying on my belly.
That's about it....I can only hope that my next post will be highlighting baby E's birth rather than my feelings prior to induction--but only time will tell.
