Update - 40w5d

Update from my appointment today (40w5d):

Woke up with some pretty nice contractions at 5:00am. Tried to go back to sleep but they kept waking me up ever 7-8 minutes. That lasted until 7:30 when I got in the tub and the contractions were still coming pretty good but at 10 minutes apart. Feeling these contractions I was like OMG what have I done saying I was going to do this all natural....my goodness...hope I can do it!

Went to my appointment and they did the ultrasound. She scored 8/8 again. They are guessing her weight is 7lbs 13 ounces. The internal showed that her head is a lot lower, cervix is now facing the front and a fingertip dilated. Oh and I've been spotting for about the past 4 days.

Doc says she doubt that I will make it to Sunday but if I do, I'm scheduled to be at the hospital at 9pm for the cervidil pill. I'm hoping that she decides to come before the induction route....so we shall see.

Still contracting about every 7-8 minutes now....so we shall see what the little Misses has up her sleeve.

Maybe she will be born on Christmas. We know she is a miracle from GOD, how special that would be for her to be born on his b-day! :) I am praying for your strength to have the child birth you have been aiming for. I know you can do it, you are so strong. But don't beat yourself up if you do end up giving in and getting a little relief, everything will be great no matter what. Not to get you down or sad, but my mom is not doing good and is not expected to make it through the weekend. She is just in the final stages, its so hard. I was checking in with you b/c I needed some happy news!! Hope you have a wonderful Christmas and I can't wait to see pics of baby Miracle! Love-Kirstine

I'm so excited about your MIRACLE at Xmas! I've been following you on FF for about a year and a half (I'm sarbear43 in Atlanta). My husband and I had our bout with infertility/miscarriages. I know a little of what you mean when you talk about the pain that 'normies' just can never know. That is what makes Miracles' bith so extra special, especially since you are a Beliver, like I am, too. God is SO good, and so faithful! I think having had infertility is to remind me that if I get mad at my baby girl, ever in her life, it will always help me put whatever she is doing 'bad' in perpective, and I will repsond in a better, more patient manner. God's got a plan! Also, Palms 113 ends with, "...And He settles the barren woman in her home as the happy mother of children"...
