So soon ponygirl! rooskie when are you scheduled? And everybody else, remind me of your due date/scheduled date. I can't remember a damn thing these days. 🤣 I’m due 11/8 but given my bloodwork 2 weeks ago, I will be really surprised if my csection doesnt end up closer to 37-38 weeks (so sometime after 10/17). At the latest, I’ve got a csection scheduled for 11/2 though.

I also need to pick out outfits for newborn pictures for the family...We're having them taken on 10/11, which means it will either be 90 degrees or 60 depending on how Indiana feels like treating us that day.

Thanks universe. When I picked up my 3 year old from daycare they let us know they had a low-risk exposure in her classroom on 8/28, so her classroom is closed and she has to stay home until 9/14. Thank God for my in-laws being next door.
I just set up a teleappointment with her pediatrician tonight at 6 and they'll tell us if she needs to get tested.
Now I'm anxious to get my test results back from the 1st and from today.

Baby girl is fine! Her head is tiny but there's no brain abnormalities and she is otherwise measuring good and growing. So relieved.

Brain fail for me if that's the case You’ve got a good (and very cute) reason for brain fails right now. Also, her induction plans have changed a couple times, so it’s hard to keep up with. But maybe baby fem will decide to come today now that you’ve thrown the labor thoughts out there! 🤞🏻🤞🏻 I'm surprised anyboy can keep track it's changed so much. 😝 Yes I go in tomorrow night for 'cervical ripening' and induction is on Monday. But I will gladly take today if this baby wants to make an appearance. Nothing yet.

I've been having contractions 8-13 minutes apart for 1.5 hours. Please, please keep going body.
DH took the kids outside to play soccer while I take a bath and try to figure out if this is real or my body playing a trick on me.

And both kids got in the tub with me, one bit the other and there was screaming, and the contractions stopped. ☺️

All checked in at the hospital, only 1cm dilated and 30-40% effaced. Waiting to hear from the doctor on which medicine to start then I'll get the medicine and a sleeping pill.
They did say I'm contacting regularly but it must not be doing much.

I had contractions overnight with the Cervadil, for a while close and intense but they've slowed down. Going to take it out in an hour and decide on more cervical ripening or pitocin.
This place is so much better than where I had my induction in Iowa. There I was on an IV instantly, couldn't leave the bed no food. Here they let me eat, walk and take monitor breaks and even shower.

Haven't brought that up yet. But I did look at my birth stories with my first and it looks like cytotec worked then so 🤞.

Hopefully that's the push you need to get going without pitocin! I just took the second dose, having contractions so hopefully these are actually doing something!!

Stronger contractions the last 2 hours, and I'm 3cm, 60%effaced and baby has actually engaged! Going to give me two hours to see if my body takes over. If it stalls they'll give a low dose of pitocin.
