The Waiting Game
I had my weekly doctor's appointment yesterday and I was told that I am already 3cm dilated and 70% effaced. My cervix is favorable enough but I haven't gone into labor just yet. If only I was past 38 weeks, I would've been induced as I have a big baby and my doctor doesn't want to prolong my delivery. Though 37 weeks is considered full term, some babies act as if they're preemies so to make sure, she wanted to wait a week more. If I don't go into labor by Tuesday (my next appointment), I will be induced.
When I got home yesterday, I emailed my boss that this week will be my last working week until I go back from my maternity leave in April. I have also turned over the remaining work I have. I filed my maternity leave via our leave coordinator. I started working on my will. I have finalized my hospital pre-registration (I am changing insurance companies come January 1). I have also mailed the cord blood documents, which I have faxed to Viacord a couple of weeks back.
Last night, I was in my baby's room trying to arrange stuff. I think my nesting instinct is kicking in. It won't be long now...
Please pray for a smooth and safe delivery for me, and a healthy baby for us.

You're almost there! How exciting it must be for you. I was induced at 39wks and Jake came out at a whopping 8.8lbs - did your OB tell you how heavy Baby Caerwyn is? When I got your text last week, I was almost wondering if you were going to have a Christmas baby. Enjoy nesting - that was my favorite part :). I was vacuuming the day before I went in the hospital and the day I did, I even managed to do a load of laundry! Just holler if you need anything. We'll be praying for your safe delivery.
I'll be praying for your safe delivery.
