EDD +1

Still here!

On Friday I went to the doctor's and I was only a 1/2 centimeter dilated. Yesterday I went again, but they didn't do another internal. The doctor said there really wasn't a point, because until I go into labor it doesn't matter how much I am dilated. They also did an ultrasound and everything look good. The estimated weight is 8lbs right now. I also had a non-stress test where they monitor the baby's heart rate. Each time the baby moves I need to press a button. Well this time the baby was not cooperating, and wasn't moving. The test took over 30 mins and the nurse had to literally shake my belly. But the baby did wake up a bit and move around. They said it was fine.

So now the plan: I go back to the Dr on Thursday morning (although we are hoping I go before that and can cancel the appt). At this appt they will again do a sonogram, a non-stress test, and an internal with the doctor. From here we will schedule an induction for Sunday night. So here is to hoping I go on my own before Sunday!

Everything is good. We are as ready as we can be, just waiting for our little bundle of joy to arrive. I feel good, the same actually. I was a bit irritable over the weekend, can that be a sign of impending labor? But thankfully that seems to have passed (at least for everyone else's sake). Just trying to keep busy and tie up some loose ends.

We know that everyone is as anxious as we are to meet Baby Perfetti. We have received a lot of phone calls of people checking in to see how we are doing and if there is any news. It is to the point if we don't answer the phone people assume we are at the hospital. I am afraid not to answer the phone & get people's hope up, LOL. It is really sweet how much people care and are excited for us!
