Today's dr. appt was a little disappointing. There really is no change with me or the baby. The baby hasn't dropped/engaged, making it hard for the dr to even guess the weight of the baby. About 7.5lbs is the current guess and that would be mine as well or a bit bigger. I am on my way to about 2cm, this doctor is known for being generous in her dilation amounts and she said I was 2cm. The next sentence has warnings: non-partners you can skip it, men ask your wives if they know, and many women can relate. To try and get things moving the dr "stripped my membranes." This action has a 50% chance of starting labor within 48 hours...which is right near our induction date anyway.
So if nothing changes before Friday, we will be heading to the hospital about 7am. If the baby still hasn't dropped by Friday they will have to hook me up to pitocin first to start contractions and get the baby to drop. Then we will progress from there.
Music, music, music, every night at one of the many bathroom breaks while trying to fall back asleep and I have a new song in my head keeping me from sleeping. Sunday was "Rock Star" by Nickelback, Monday was Pink's new song "So What", Tuesday was Maroon 5. It doesn't sound like a problem until you can't get the song out of your head for 30+ mins and you are singing many of the same lines over and over again. I wonder what tonight's song will be.
Thank you everyone for your calls and emails. We will keep you updated if the baby decides to come before Friday.
