Fetal Stress, Membrane Stripping, and Induction...

OH MY!!!!!!!

So today our dr visit was a doozie! The babys ultrasound didnt go that great. Her movements werent happening. Her heart arythmia was more sporadic. Basically they didnt like what they werent seeing and were hearing. So at 41 weeks and a day......when you say to a dr. "tell it to me like it is"....they say...."have the baby...now". Tomorrow morning we are set to go in and do just that. IM not a fan of induction and im a bit torn on all this. However, this is where being informed and using a nurse mid wife you trust comes into play.
Dr Green said he stripped my membranes when he checked me. We left without seeing our CNM so she called me later asking how i was doing. After our conversation she deduced he hadnt stripped my membranes and told me to meet her at the office ...after hours mind you.

She stripped them FOR REAL.....and gave me homework. Rocking on hands and knees, castor oil, sex, nipple stimulation. All the oldies but goodies. She feels since i am already at about 3 or 4 that chances are good we can do this thing with little or no pit. She gave me hope. I love her for that. So we are going to do our darndest to get the party going. And we will let you all know how things are going.

Pray if you pray, hope if you hope, wish if you wish, meditate, vibrate....whatever you do...do it for us.

Big, Bored, and Babyless

We are so bored. Stir crazy. Today has been mind numbing.

I guess that is good. Its just that waiting for a baby to arrive is dull.
Im done nesting. I dont want to wash clothes anymore or take "that last shower" or grocery shop again or pack a bag for the hospital. None of that i find appealing. It all filled the time the last week or two but now im over it. Time to get this party started. Now if the guest of honor would just knock on the door.

My parents took the two nieces back with them to Tennessee. My sister is still here but busy doing consulting work. The peace and quiet is nice. Our Boston Legal Season Three hook up has crapped out on us, so we are at a loss of what we can do....ha. Sad isnt it.

I guess im going back to work in the morning. Something to fill the time and the pocketbook.
