The due date has come and gone! I went to the doctor for my FINAL check up yesterday. I was dilated to *maybe* 1.5 centimeters (which I have been for 5 weeks now). With no change, I decided induction should be the next step. We will be heading to L&D tomorrow evening to get a foley ball put in (helps with dilation) and then return 12 hours later to begin the pitocin drip. This little man does NOT wanna come and my body doesn't want to progress any further then it has.
I am opting for NO epidural right now. Don't ask me why, for some reason, I wanna see if I can handle it. However, Derek is under STRICT orders that if I ask for one, do not deny me my drugs!
I have a feeling I will be having a c-section Sunday night/early Monday morning. I just know that my body is going to laugh at the medication and just stall out. It took Derek and I 10 years to get pregnant, why would I think delivery would be easy?!?! I am not opposed to the surgery at all. I want my baby out in the safest manner possible for Ollie and myself. From day 1, we were fine with any outcome we would have with delivery.
I hope my 2nd blog will be with pictures of the baby! I will be updating this blog as much as I can, daily, if possible (big dreams..lol) so everyone can see how much he changes daily! Videos, pictures, blogs and anything else I can cram in of Evie and Ollie will be here!
