I have enough experience to know that being 1cm dialated isn’t a big deal. But I was still pretty pumped when the doc told me that she could feel the baby’s head. With an induction date set for Dec. 22nd, I can’t complain too much…but I sure wouldn’t mind if I went into spontaneous labor before then. Y’all pray hard. I’ll pray hard. And let’s see if we can’t pray this baby out or something…
I am praying! Lucy was induced on December 18th – though she really had a Christmas due date. About early December my OB looked at me and said “Did you just mention you wanted this baby early?” I hadn’t said a word but I jumped at the chance to go early. I figured second baby – whats a little pitocin between friends?
Now I am stuck and you soon will be planning a birthday party only days before Christmas. Lucy is still very fixed on having a birthday party near her birthday. Each year I try to convince her to delay it to Jan, Feb maybe even March but so far she’s not falling for it.
So, we are having a “snow themed sleepover” on Friday night. Basically I bought tons of snow man theme crafts at Michaels, we’re going ice skating, then popping in Ice Age 2 and hoping everyone drifts off to sleep!
Please keep us posted on the birth and be thankful you aren’t in a stable somewhere with only your husband as an attendant!
I feel sorry for #3A already for having a birthday so close to Christmas! I understand very well the disadvantages with having a birthday so close to Christmas! A tip in advance for when he or she gets older wrap his or her birthday presents in BIRTHDAY paper and not Christmas paper! 🙂
