I am at this point a little frustrated and a bit disappointed. I went to get the CTG done this morning and there were more contractions, which are always nice to see. They are getting more uncomfortable, but still not "labor pain." Then I go see my regular doctor (first time I have seen him since last Wednesday- all the other times it was on call Docs in labor and delivery). Well, EVERY doctor I have seen, the labor and delivery Docs and my "blood Doc" have said absolutely no later than Sunday. Well, my lovely doctor conducts his appointment (says the baby is even lower), tells me to go in on Saturday morning for another CTG and then says "see you on Wednesday." "WHAT!!!!" I scream in my head. So, I tell him I thought because of the sugar issues I would not go past Sunday all he says is "well... information changes and you can go up to ten days late." "WHAT!!!!" I scream again in my head. So, I then remind him that my husband is gone and I am having some childcare issues for the other three. I told him this weekend is a three day weekend (four day for soldiers) and it would be easiest for me to get help this weekend. Obviously baby's health is the number one thing, but come on we are 39 weeks and 3 days along. So anyway, he said for me to come in on Monday between 8-830 and they would "try" and induce me. Not too firm sounding. So, while I try to remain upbeat and happy go lucky, as I did not want this site to be a drag with my moans and groans, I am slightly disappointed today. I am fully aware that when all is said and done and I have my four beautiful children around me, none of this will matter, but at the moment, I am sort of stuck in the moment. I am hoping that when I see the delivery room Docs on Saturday, they will stick with their policy of "not past Sunday" and perhaps give me a little "nudge" and try to get the ball rolling that day. Also, I thought I'd be having appointments daily, like the delivery room Doc said; however, that is another thing my primary doctor changed as I do not go in again until Saturday.
After all that complaining, I want to end upbeat sooo...... I am truly thankful to G-d and my husband (and my own inner workings) that I am pregnant and these are just all the little nuances that go along with receiving this blessing. Very, Very soon whether it be tomorrow or on the 25th (ten days late) I will have a new baby girl in my arms and all will be well in the world (until my next big crisis occurs....HAHAHAHAHAHA).
Well, thanks for stopping by and letting me blow of some steam.
To funk things up a bit I thought I would post a picture of me impersonating the "WHAT!!!" I had going on in my head. I hope you get at least a little chuckle.

I did want to add that many people have offered their help to me. I have even been offered long distance help. There is no short supply of offers, but coordinating child care can still be a difficult task. Also, Tina didn't just recently offer, she has been since the beginning. So a great big thank you to you all, I didn't want to sound ungrateful. Now, you did giggle at the picture, didn't you?
Zachary asked "who's that?" I said that's Meghan, you don't remember her from when you were born? LOL Yep, loved the pic. You can send the kids to Missouri if you want...hee hee Hang in there, you're so close. I hope they get things rolling this weekend. We both know how miserable we are by this time, especially going late. You just want that baby in your arms!
