Had a doc appointment today to see if I had "progressed" any. Dilated to "not quite" a centimeter. After a week since my last appointment, no progress. So, we made an appointment for me to come back on Monday, 4/18 - I'll be 39w5d. But then, we made a date. If Nuggette doesn't decide to come on her own, I'll go to the hospital late Easter Sunday night for an induction to deliver Monday! I will only be prego until 4/25 at the latest!
I wasn't anxious or nervous this entire time. I'm getting there now. It's a bit more real to have a date that I will for sure have a child! That's a lot to take in. Yes, I've had 9 months to get used to the idea, it just wasn't real since nothing was really happening (other than my belly taking on the distinct shape of a basketball). I figured it would hit me when we were on the way to the hospital (assuming I would go into labor on my own). Now that there's a "plan" that's almost just as bad! I can't reschedule, I'm still not in control, but somebody wants to make me think I am, even if just a smidge. That's kind of mean. Don't tease me with structure! I want all or nothing. Totally spontaneous or completely planned.
Well, maybe she'll surprise us all and come on her own still. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
You are going to be the best mom! I can't wait to meet Nuggette! Love you Val.
