in her own time...

well, this baby is sure stubborn. just like her mom and dad! nothing exciting to report from the doctor yesterday. lost 2 pounds and some amniotic fluid which apparently is normal as the due date approaches. no change in the cervical situation. still 90%/1cm dilated. was really hoping for more progress after all the activity "down there" this weekend. cramped all night from the pelvic exam....but that happened last week too. not getting too excited. set up an appointment for induction next wednesday (9/19) in the event that she doesn't arrive soon. not thrilled about that, but i told her today that she needs to come out by then on her own. so, maybe she'll make up her mind soon. tried to work on monday and totally regretted it. so, i'm officially on maternity leave as of yesterday. not thrilled about using up my sick days before the bambina arrives, but i have developed a little sciatica in my right leg and it was really hard moving around on monday. so, i decided to get things ready at home and try to rest as much as possible. there's not really much to do around here though since i just had the whole summer off to "get ready." oh well. will update again soon. hopefully with exciting news instead of the same old story. *sigh*
