Well, we had our weekly check up today...no news to report:( I am ok with the fact that I am not in labor or having regular contractions, etc....I am frustrated because my truly amazing doctor, told me with what seemed like such certainty that Lincoln would be here early! At our first check, I was dilated to a 2 and 30% effaced...last time she was barely able to check my dilation, which had not progressed much, and could not check effacement. Today was worse! Lincoln is SO posterior, she could not check EITHER!!! UGH! It's not that I want to be in labor right now, but I just wish I had progressed SOME! I feel like a sitting duck.
On a happier note, since I am not headed to the hospital, Ben and I have a date night planned:) We are going to eat at Lake Hefner at this mexican restaurant which I hope is great! We also get our new IPhone 4s on Friday!!! Now, we are not the type of people who have the latest and greatest technology, but we do not have a good digital camera, and the specs on this phone are supposed to be awesome! I would be thrilled if Lincoln came Saturday:)
I am a bit worried, as my doctor told me today she was going out of town next Thursday night! WHAT??? You may not be here to deliver my precious baby???? Ben thinks it's no big deal, but I want MY doctor, the one who has been with me on this journey from the beginning!!! So, we are praying, and trying all of the at home labor inducers to get this guy out before she leaves!
I'll keep you posted as things progress...or not! haha
I just saw this update after I e-mailed you! I was at a 2 with Joel and he was posterior when I saw Dr. L the day before I went into labor, so you never know! Things can always change overnight and you may see him sooner than you think! Doing the labor inducers should help - eating Mexican food included - lol. Dr. L was going to Canada about 5 days after Joel was born and I was really stressed out about that too. I completely understand you wanting her there. I do too for Elijah! It is better having your Doc because you feel more comfortable, but I'm sure if she's out of town the Doc at the hospital will do great for you too. I LOVED my nurses at Mercy and one of them actually sat in her spot until the final push coaching me through.
