I went yesterday for my weekly appointment hoping to hear some good news, and I did! I am 1cm dilated and 70% effaced. So Lila Kate is beginning to think about finally meeting her mommy and daddy!! Hopefully by next weekend it will be time, and that will be awesome because Dr. Kimmel will be on call at the hospital the next 2 weekends, and I really want her to deliver!
Last week Dr. Kimmel had talked to Will and I about setting an induction date in case LK hadn't made an appearance by her due date. Well, Will and I are really against inductions, since they are really for convenience for the doctors and mothers and usually result in a c-section. I could feel Will getting angry when she said that. She told us to think of a date and I was to tell her at my appointment yesterday what we had decided. We did decide to give her a date, January 31, which was right before 42 weeks. I went solo yesterday since Will had to go back to work yesterday, so I was like yay she is going to yell at me only. But, she was really cool about it. I expressed to her that I really wanted LK to come on her time and not induce but we would let her be taken on Jan. 31 if for some reason she was not here yet. She understood my stance and decided to not even write the date down and that we would just take it a week at a time and see what happens. Whew!! What a relief!
So now, we wait. I walk. And hopefully there will be a baby in my arms in the next week or so!!
