Well, we are now 10 days away from estimated due date.. wow.. i can't believe he is still in there! We went to the 36 week appt with Dr. Hurt. She measured me a 3 almost 4 and 90% effaced. Then later on we went to L&D cuz i had tons of contractions again!! They kept us over night because of Kadens Heartrate.. it was questionable. But it was fine overall.. i think it was a faulty monitor. Otherwise, that was my first non productive night at L&D where i got kept and still had no baby :(. Dr. Woessner measured me that morning at a 3 (mind you,, he's a man.. and a 4 keeps me in the hospital!). He said had i been further and 36 weeks, he'd help me along. But.. i was just 36 weeks and its not right at that point without invasive testing. We got released and I came home sore and tired from NO sleep the whole night. I had another appt the following Monday with Woessner, and he measured me an almost 4.. so progress.. didnt discuss effacement. He just said we needed to have the contractions to get us in the hospital and I will have a baby!! LOL Well i guess that scared Kaden.. because I will get the contractions long enough to get me to want to go to the hospital.. and then boom.. they will stop or slow. I am throughoughly exhausted at this point. My abs hurt non stop!! My other places don't feel all that good either. Bill and I have waged war on him by having me do tons of natural methods to get him out. Non of which work. Will have to remember this for the next one! Now tomorrow my my next appt.. 11 days after the last one. So goodness gratious.. i gotta have some mega progress. All day today i am kinda crampy, had some not so fun stools.. and tons of pressure!! Could that be a sign.. IDK? contractions still aren't as regular as they should be.. nor as strong. But i have a good feeling that this time, something is gonna happen. If i make it till tomorrow.. (i am sure i will, now that i have said that!!!) Then I will ask Dr. Hurt to strip my membranes to get things going.. that is, if she doesnt offer a one way trip right to Riverside!! I can't see how someone can be this dialated.. this effaced.. this long... and NOTHING HAPPENS!!! Kaden is certainly stubborn as all heck!! :) just like his daddy.. lol
I just can't go overdue.. at this point thats my only worry. I dont want to take away any more of this precious time away from Bill to spend with his son. He talks about Kaden every day and how much he wants him here.. how much he wants to see that little face.. and love on him and give tons of kisses and just LOOK at him. Its so sweet! I know Bill is gonna be an awesome daddy, he shows it every day.. and i hate the fact that he has to leave for the desert so soon after Kaden is born. It just sucks. I know we made this decision together.. and really it still is the right one for us. But its gonna be so hard seeing him say goodbye to his son. I know I can handle it.. but seeing him say goodbye and being upset to say goodbye not only to me but Kaden.. its gonna kill me!!Thank god for the internet!! I told Bill i am gonna send him a picture everyday of Kaden.. and maybe of his mama too. I dont want him to miss a thing!!!
Okay well now that i am a sobbing fool i will tie this post up. Hopefully I will have awesome news to post tomorrow after my appt.. or maybe I will be too busy to post at all cuz we'll be having a baby.. who knows!!
