41 weeks!

Yes thats right, we've reached 41 weeks! We had our weekly drs appt on friday and heard pretty much what we expected. Babies will come when they're ready, etc... but they will be willing to induce me next week if I would like! My reply was bring on the Pitocin!

I was told that I was 75% effaced and dilated to 4 and that she was sure I would go on my own! Yeah right I'll believe it when I see it. So we scheduled the preliminary testing needed for induction on Monday morning. This consist of an ultrasound, stress test, and check of amniotic fluid. I was told any time after that testing I can schedule appt with hospital for induction. So I'm hoping they let me come in monday night or tuesday! :)

We also asked them to give us a guess on baby's weight! She told us her guess was only good for 24 hrs, but she is thinking 8 lbs 13 oz right now!!! Yikes!! On the way home for our appt I was starting to have contractions but like usual we started to time them and by 8 they has fizzled out again!

Maybe labor will start on it's own today or tomorrow, but I'm not very hopeful. We are so used to contractions at this point that were not getting excited unless it last for hours!

I will be sure to have an update again on Monday afternoon after our appointment! Wish us luck! We know that the time is very very soon! :)
