OK, SO THIS is the deal...

OK, SO THIS is the deal...

All tests went very well (BioPhysical and NonStress Test)... Of course the baby didnt move as much as we wanted so they gave me candy and soda to get him/her moving

They estimated the baby to weigh 8.1.
JA weighed 8 even and he was 6 days late.
(Today is 5days late). So this baby is in sync w big brother

This Friday I will be one week late. So I have the option of waiting another week, which would make me 2wks late.

We decided to wait, not the full two weeks, but until next Tuesday 3/16, which if I dont go on into labor by then, we'd have a c-section.

Part of me says to wait it out the full 2 weeks, why not, and part of me, with having had a previous C, and the baby getting big already, most likely labor will progress slowly (Im still only 1 1/2cm and baby is a little high) Also, with having had a previous C, things have to be monitored more closely, they wont induce, etc. I was on the fence about when to wait until. She totally left it up to how I felt about waiting how long. and I guess in this case, 10-11 days sounds about long enough...Kinda right in the middle...
Id like to give it a chance to come naturally, the way mother nature intended. But we also want to keep in mind Dr's advice.

So I hope we made a good decision.

We'll see if this baby decides to join us this weekend !

Don't worry, you won't be waiting another 6 days for this baby. He'll be here tomorrow!

I think you made the right choice to do the C-section on Tuesday. It sounds like you put a lot of thought into your decision, and only YOU know what's best for you.

I think you're doing the right thing. I'm surprised that little baby is so comfy, I'm sure JA is cluelessly jumping on your belly all the time like Lukie does to me. I'm getting a Friday night vibe from you.

Glad all is well with the baby, that's the most important thing.

We're the ones suffering...we're DYING to KNOW!!!!!

Anna, this is for you...


I think you made the best decision for you...but, I am secretly hoping that you go into labor on Friday, so that I can find out before I leave whether it's a BOY or a GIRL

C'mon baby....I seriously cannot wait TWO WEEKS to find out about you!

Anna, my fingers are for you!!!

Sounds like you have kept your options open and came out with a very well thought out decision!

The funny thing is that everyone keeps asking when I think that I will go in to labor by and I just have a feeling and always say either by the 16th or perhaps in to the 17th!

To be honest Anna, I would rather have no signs of labor. The last couple of days are torture on me...Tuesday night I actually showered and packed some final stuff because I thought that I would be heading to the hospital sometime in the middle of the night. Boy, was I wrong! Today, I am feeling the same way I did Tuesday! Yesterday, I had a contraction pretty much every 15-20 minutes, but never closer and stronger! I was SOOO tired though!

I was a little late this morning to work though because I decided to try to get things moving a long with hubby!
