I had a follow-up with my midwives today. NST looked good and I had my membranes stripped. Assuming baby holds out, they'll be inducing me on Wednesday evening. (Well, Cook's Catheter-ing me on Wednesday evening, Thursday morning induction.)
Here's hoping that baby comes before the induction. But, if not, enjoy your last few data if freedom! Sleep! Ear with two hands! Sleep! Watch movies! Sleep!
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I had a fussy first round of shots baby so I didn't see this until now and I'm never going to be able to sleep now! Come on little girl!

At the hospital. I'm at 7.5 right now. They're trying to see if they can get her to move down a little more before they break my water to get things moving. (I have a lot of fluid so there's some concern about a prolapsed cord if baby's head isn't there to block it.)
Also, I want to hug whoever invented epidurals. I mean seriously. I spent the first four hours at the hospital thinking I was dying. Drugs are magic.

Fast labor vibes to you! Can't wait to see the little miss!

My water finally broke at 6 am and had merconium in it. I'm kind of bummed because it means we can't delay clamping, but if that's the biggest issue we have today, we're way ahead of the curve!
Progress slowed way down, so they put in an internal monitor to check the strength of my contractions, and started me on pitocin at about 9:30. I'm starting to feel the pressure of the contractions now and hoping this means baby girl is getting ready to move into the real world!
Okay it's been 8 hours! Hope you are snuggling the crap out of that girl. And resting. Can't wait to see her. I'm hoping your next update will be my middle of the night feed entertainment
