Symptoms:
Braxton hicks, pelvic pain especially if I have been sitting or lying down for
a while, lower back pain, sore/achy body and some swelling at the end of the
day. A nice hot bath each evening is helpful. I realized that I haven’t had any
Charlie horses/leg cramps this time which is nice.
Best Moment this week: Just enjoying thanksgiving as a family and getting ready for Chloe’s arrival. We went black Friday shopping, I got a pedicure, and Melisa and I took the kids to Six Flags. Also due to my snoring the boys have been taking turns sleeping with mommy in the big bed. And then Kyle sleeps in the empty boy’s bed. They are loving it. And I like having a bed buddy.

I
can't wait: for December 1st. 4 more sleeps!!
Yesterday
I had my last checkup before the induction. I am only measuring 35 weeks so I
assume that is because she has dropped so low. My blood pressure was good and
her heartrate was 152. But I am only dilated to a 1 and still thick. Therefore
I feel pretty sure she won’t come on her own before the 1st. The
doctor offered an induction on Friday but I declined. I like Saturday so that
family doesn’t have to take off and worry about missing it.
The
lack of progress makes me glad I am being induced because I didn’t want to go
too late and too close to Christmas. HOWEVER, I really didn’t want to be
induced. I kept hoping she would come on her own before then. I just really
wanted to wait until the 4th or so to see if she would come. But
waiting until the 11th when the doctor is back in town to induce
sounded too long and too close to Christmas. I am a little nervous that Saturday
will be a long day. I would just love for it to be one of those check in and
have that girl here 4 hours later. But you know what sometimes that build up
and anticipation is just as much fun too. So I will pray for patience and peace
as we approach the 1st.
I
ordered the chair cover, setup the monitor, ordered the base, and have all of
the stuff gathered for our bags (just not in them to prevent wrinkles). My goal
tonight is to hang the décor and finish thank you notes. I don’t have that many
left but I am just avoiding them.
Next
on my to-do list-
Finish
thank you notes
Hang
décor
39 weeks
The night before my induction
The nursery the night before her birth
The goodies for the nurses and visitors
