To be quite honest, the only reason I'm writing tonight is because yesterday I said I would give you all an update today. We went to the doctor this morning, but I didn't learn a whole lot. He asked if I wanted to be checked for changes, but I opted out. I wasn't convinced enough had happened over the weekend to create a great change. That means I didn't leave the office feeling disappointed today, but it also means I left the office not really knowing anything.
I asked all kinds of questions about what happened and got a few answers. Labor could have started for a number of reasons. But he assured me that I went to the hospital when I was supposed to. That made me feel a little better, at least. We also talked about waiting versus inducing. I learned that we were on the same wavelength. He would rather wait for nature to take its course than to try and force things along. That's what I was hoping for all along. He did tell me that if I go a week past the due date he'll want to monitor the baby to make sure she's still okay. I don't know how long he would wait before inducing, though. I didn't ask because I'm trying to remain optimistic that it won't come down to that.
That's about all the "news". I wish there was more to tell, but we all have to be patient a little longer.

Hang in there girl. The good news is that the baby cannot stay in there forever, even though it seems like it now! I know that the fact that Holy Week is coming up brings stress into the situation, but God does not give us anything that we cannot handle. Just be thankful that she is coming in her time, and will be able to come home with you when it is all over. I know, easy for me to say! I remember how difficult it all was, and how weepy I would get! It sounds like you are making some progress and it won't be too terribly long. I am still hoping for Friday :0)
Don't feel bad about writing without any news. The fact that nothing is happening is news for us and I look for something every day now. Even if it's just to say nothing's happening!
I take it that Friday is Kristi's birthday. You've hit the month of March, with lots of birthday posibilities. Daniel's is today. Jesse on Thurs. Laura on Sunday and Joanna on Good Friday. I guess your baby can take her pick. Maybe she'll want her own day!
Thanks for keeping us informed. Love Mom
