Reality SUCKS!

So yesterday was "the appointment" the one I was most looking forward to my entire pregnancy. For my entire pregnancy I have known that I will probably be induced, I was induced with Delaney 3 weeks early, and Garrett 2 weeks early. So I ASSUMED (I know, I know) that when they measured this baby they would give me a due date of about 2 weeks early....


NOT THE CASE!!!!!! >(

No...instead the earliest that she can legally induce me is just a hair before my 39th week...So March 10th. (Which happens to be 2 days after Jason's birthday)

Seriously??? That seems so far away when my stomach is HUGE (for proof click HERE).
I know that waiting is part of the pregancy game. But I refuse to wait to the point where baby gets too big and I cannot get it out vaginally. I DO NOT want a C-section....

As we sit right now...well as of yesterday anyway:
Baby weighs: 7.5 pounds
I am dilated to 3 cm
I am 80% effaced
I baby's head is at -2

Just a friendly reminder, this does not mean I'm going to be in labor any time soon or ever!!! I walked around dilated at 5 cm for 2 weeks with Garrett and still nothing!!! LOL

So as I sit now, I'm bummed, bummed that I thought wrong this whole pregnancy, bummed that my baby has the potential to weigh in at 10 pounds, bummed that nothing fits, bummed that I cannot sleep, bummed that I'm not just going into labor...

Until next time! I'm going to adjust my pregnancy tickers to match my induction date, maybe that will make me feel better!!!

I think you just get to a point when you are DONE....and you are there. I know they only want what's best for the baby, but what about momma? With Callie, I wanted to schedule my c-section 2 weeks earlier because Maddie was staring Kindergarten that week, but they wouldn't let me...same reason, by law or something stupid like that!

Hang in there, hopefully everything will smooth out and you wont have a HIPPO! LOL
