Luuuucy.... What are you waiting for? ;)

So here we are, 41 weeks and a day..... still waiting. 

     I checked in with my doctor on Friday and we are looking good. Too good. 
The fluids keeping Lucy healthy are just right, my blood pressure is great and her heart rate is wonderful. So we wait... with no medical reason to induce, we decided to wait her out again. 

     Last week, Dr. Lewis gave us the option of inducing on Tuesday (just 4 days past the due date) but we decided to wait because we had a ultrasound done and everything was looking good. At the time, I wasn't super uncomfortable so I figured- why rush her? I had "made a deal" with Lucy that she had to wait until September- she followed directions. :) So now it is time for a new deal...Let's go Lucy. The new deal is, you have to be out before we get to 42 weeks (Friday). So no matter her preference- we WILL have a baby by the weekend!! There is an end in sight to this stage. 

37 weeks, 39 weeks, 40 weeks

41 weeks! 

    


 Now, I am starting to feel a little uncomfortable... its like I can feel how heavy she is! I can't seem to stand up as quickly as I could just last week and rolling over is proving to be more difficult everyday. I am excited to think how healthy she will be and we are taking bets on how much hair she will have- with all this extra time to grow. 
 I am just imagining a very relaxed, calm and easy-going girl that is in no hurry to be bossed around. And I am okay with that. 

     I want to remember that we weren't just waiting at this point. Bouncing on an exercise ball while eating pineapple just didn't do it yesterday. Walking with the intention of getting things going wasn't much help either... I have purchased some raspberry leaf tea but haven't gotten to drinking it quite yet. We are ready!!!!
