Headache won't stay away, BP wouldn't stay down, so it's baby day.

I came in for monitoring last night and after being here all night, my OB decided it's not worth the risk to me, so we have started an induction.

I was already at 1cm, so she started me on Cytotec to get cervix going on it's own more and then we'll see in about 4 hours if we do another dose or go to Pitocin.

AH!!!! So excited!...and jealous!

I was trying to remember when to start the primrose...I thought it was 34W maybe 36w... kaydee0402, Also cookies with WHOOPERs I have to look into this.

@kc295905,I am starting DDs list on amazon for the family members far away, they just look on there and order. I am about to make mine for my husband with links and what not so he doesn't fail miserably LOL.

My goodness! FX for you that all goes smoothly. I'm so excited that you'll have your perfect little squish in your arms soon!

[kaydee0402]

WineNChocolate, 34 weeks, so I have another week. Red Raspberry Leaf tea you can start in the second trimester, so I started at 24 weeks.

I did all of this stuff last time and still wound up being induced at 41 weeks. So I don't know how much it actually works, but I figured it can't hurt. And my midwife is okay with with it.

My "duh" advice for the day: Check with your midwife before trying any labor inducing techniques.

[hmr11913]

OMG mrsp121308 ----- T&P that it all goes well today and will be anxiously awaiting your update!

[littlelion]

mrsp121308 GL! Hope you have a smooth labor & delivery!

[legalbeagle]

mrsp121308, so many good thoughts for you!! You've got this!

[legalbeagle]

For those online Christmas shopping, I bought DS a lot of really cute stocking stuffers at Land of Nod: www.landofnod.com/gifts-under-10/toys-and-gifts/1
And they have flat rate $6.95 shipping. DS usually gets WAAAY too many presents from family already so DH and I just do the small things and then buy something practical (like this year he needs a new mattress).

Wallpaper getting installed today! You guys will get a pic tomorrow! Also going to call HR today and tell them my last day will be December 14th. Excited about that.

[requiressnacks]

I can't wait to see your wallpaper, legalbeagle!

[Winnifred]

OMG a December baby is being born today!

+*^%# - OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG - *+!*+(#

mrsp121308 - I'm so sorry that they weren't able to get your BP under control, and I hope that this induction goes as smoothly as possible for you! You'll be snuggling your newborn so soon, and I'll be thinking of you while you work on getting her out!

OMG mrsp121308!!! So many good thoughts for a safe delivery and a beautiful baby.

My husband's parents, sister and her husband are all coming to stay the week before Thanksgiving for an entire week. When we agreed to this, we didn't realize I would literally be starting my 9th month of pregnancy. I kind of figured they would bow out, but nope, tickets have been purchased. Thankfully I am working that week, so I'll get a break every day. I've also already told my husband I'm completely hands off. No cooking, no cleaning, nothing. They're responsible for everything, and if I want to join in, I can. And that I'll be doing a lot of resting, so they should be prepared.

So for the actual week of Thanksgiving, it will just be the two of us. My parents may come visit for the weekend, but that's still TBD. What I really want to do is just relax, recover from a week of visitors and get the Christmas decorations put up. My goal is to be done with everything by the end of November, so we're just relaxing for the first two weeks of December (or until whenever baby makes an appearance). Which means I'll probably go into labor while my in-laws are here.

My belly just turned on the stove all by itself while I reached above for the microwave. Sigh.

Bahaha mine probably would too if we didn't have those stupid child locks on it.

Lol. I need that. This is not the 1st time it's happened.

[requiressnacks]

lola, you are a brave woman. I might kill my family if they were in my house right now.

Kidding, of course...

I am... not thrilled. I like his family but I don't know them very well, so it's hard to be comfortable around them for that long. And I hate feeling uncomfortable in my own home. They mean well, and they're not awful like some horror stories I've heard. I'm just an introvert, and I'm already predisposed to be cranky right now.

[achromia]

OMG, you guys! I just got back from an appointment with the midwife and my placenta has moved - no more previa! I don't have to have a scheduled c-section!

[dream2be3]

mrsp121308 I hope everything is going well with the induction!

I totally avoided Halloween by making DH take me out for dinner and then taking me on a Target run so we could take advantage of the current diaper deal and dome of the cartwheel deals that were expiring last night.

I start twice weekly NST's next week. I've never heard of someone having them twice a week??? Better safe then sorry though so I'm not complaining! I also avoided bedrest/hospital time for another week!!!

[littlelion]

dream2be3 GL with your nsts! Fx babies cooperate and they are short appts. Today the nurse used the buzzer on me to wake up baby. And they say it doesn't hurt them but I felt bad cause he reacted so strongly. I only have the nst once weekly but then they make me do an ultrasound as well. Just during my off week, I get ultrasounds every other frid.

I am so uncomfortable this evening. I'm sitting on the recliner, feet up with pillow at the small of my back and another pillow on my right side. Barely feel ok.

Ugh, I'm so sorry. I'm the same way unless I'm in bed. Trying to convince my husband to move a TV into the bedroom temporarily because the couch just makes me so miserable, especially after sitting at work all day.

Hmmm I should go try the bed. I assumed it'd be worse.

Hazel made her debut tonight at 7:36, she's absolutely perfect and healthy! The only special thing she requires is 24 blood sugar monitoring because she was considered late-preterm at 35w3d, but so far she's had great numbers.

[achromia]

Aw, mrsp121308, she's just beautiful! So many congratulations!
