Went to the doctor this morning - BP was 110/70, which is good. My cervix is dilated to 3, but I'm only about 50% effaced, which made it difficult for the doctor to access and scrap the mucous membrane. The left hip has been giving me almost unbearable pain, but it's not enough of a reason to send me to the hospital. I go back to the doctor on Tuesday, approaching 39 weeks, where we'll make plans for induction. In about 8 more days Chanel will be here, if she doesn't come on her own before then. I sit in my rocking chair, and stare at her crib, where she'll soon be. I look at her mobile hanging over it and imagine a teeny-tiny baby looking towards the rotating butterflies, as she listens to a soft soothing lullaby for the first time. All the preparations I've made for her, the love put into ensuring she arrives into a world where she has everything she needs. The long nights we'll have, the moments of knowing I created something amazing, the blessed feeling I'll have when I see her...it's all about to be here.
Anxiously awaiting this next week...
