After my appointment yesterday, the midwives agree that I should be induced this week to avoid having to schedule yet another ultrasound next week (which they would have to do for further monitoring). She has grown and fluid is still low-ish, but not dangerous, so she looks perfect. I am dilated to 1cm now and they agreed that with my cervix effaced as much as it is, I am "favorable" for inducing. So this Friday morning we will go in super early to start the induction! I can't believe we will be parents by the end of the week :)
In the meantime, I'm still trying (and hoping) to start labor on my own or at least dilate more on my own before Friday, so I walked around the mall for awhile last night (and maybe purchased a pink Adidas jogging suit for the baby) and shopped a little bit today since it was sooo nice out! I also went and got a pedicure today and I really think it was the most amazing pedicure ever because the foot massage she gave was incredible! I also enjoyed the massage chair on my back :)
I haven't slept much at all in 2 nights now due to the worst acid reflux EVER! I've never really had it before (although I have had horrible heartburn before, but this is different) but just in the past few weeks it's gotten bad. I am not eating anything different than usual on the nights that I get it so bad, or eating at a different time or anything, but I have realized that the more water I sip on after dinner, the worse it feels. I went and bought a large container of Tums today, so we'll see if that helps tonight. I am really hoping to catch up on my sleep before Friday though, since I know I won't get a good night's sleep on Thursday night and Friday will be a LOOONG day. And after that? Well... I know I won't be getting much sleep for awhile after the baby is here! But I'd rather lose sleep due to late night feedings and changings, etc. instead of nauseating reflux!
I'll keep you all updated and post photos when I can!
