You guys are hilarious!
I am doing okay. A little nervous because if I don't go into labor on my own by Wednesday, I will have to decide whether or not to go through with the induction that my doctor and I scheduled for Wednesday night. I am not sure whether or not I want to go through with it now because I was uninformed about inductions when I made the decision... all my doctor said was if I want to be induced at/after 39 weeks, I can...
Since then I have researched things online and I'm pretty sure I don't want to go through with it if my body isn't ready on it's own at all.. which it's not. I am not dilated nor effaced as of now, and my baby hasn't even dropped yet!
Last week after my doctor checked me, she told me to take Evening Primrose Oil three times a day and have lots of sex to soften my cervix because I guess it's not soft at all.
I definitely would just wait, even if that means going overdue, but the only thing is that Nolan's parents made their flight arrangement to come out here on the 28th- through the 2nd of September because I talked to them right after I scheduled my induction date. I feel really guilty that now I'm changing my mind because i told them " for sure the baby will be here by..."
Anyways, so I have a doctors appointment on Wednesday morning to check and see if my body has progressed at all and then we can make the final decision about going through with the induction that night. My doctor knows how I feel and says she doesn't mind canceling at the last minute.
I didn't have a baby shower
Nolan and I just moved to Colorado about two weeks before I got pregnant and we still don't know a lot of people so it just would've been awkward if we had one, but it is a little disappointing. I SO wish we could still be in California because we have so many friends there, but oh well.
I have gotten a lot of stuff off of Craigslist like the crib, swing, etc... So it's coming together.
We are still currently living with my parents on the downstairs level of their house. It's pretty much a whole level just for us, it has a huge bedroom and bathroom and a few other rooms, one of which we are using for the baby's room. The kitchen is on the main level (above us).
We moved to Colorado to move in with my family after they continually offered for us to come here so we could be "taken care of" while we get out of debt, which we are done with now! We are completely debt free and now we are going to start saving while we wait on God to see where He wants us to be more permanently and then we'll buy a house/condo somewhere. Nolan isn't happy with his current job but there are a few options he has that are coming up, so we'll see what happens. As of now, even though we can afford to get an apartment somewhere, it just makes more sense to stay here until we're sure of where we want to be.
Yeah, sorry that was so long!! Hope that entertained everyone
I will definitely post my birth story along with some pictures of my baby girl once she's here! I'm so excited!!
