38 Weeks
…and no labor progress! Another bummer of a doctors visit. He said she is still at the top of the birth canal and to find someone with a riding lawn mower and ride it around…what?! I have taken measures into my own hands and started a walking crusade and plan to eat my way through all of the spicy food in Cincinnati – perhaps I’ll even lose some weight from sweating out the spice! I guess it just means that Lillian likes hanging out with me for the time being. The doc did say that he expects her to arrive weighing a little over 8lbs – so much for all of the cute newborn clothes! My anemia has improved but I am still required to take iron supplements throughout the remainder of the pregnancy. I tested positive for Group B streptococcus which isn’t really anything to worry about, it just means that I will have to have an IV of antibiotics during labor to prevent passing it onto the baby. Everything else was business as usual.
Things can change at the drop of a hat so with a busy week ahead, there may be some progress. We’ll finish up our returns and complete the registry this weekend. Once the supplies come in for some art projects, her nursery will be in tip top shape as well. The weekend will be lovely in Cincinnati so we’ll probably soak up some sun and I can dictate to Brian or my mom where flowers are to be planted. The week ahead includes a few celebratory when-am-i-going-to-see-you-again lunches and a last hurrah night out with friends consisting of dinner and Avenue Q (I might just laugh Lily right out of me!) With all of the activity, my co-workers are convinced that she will show up early and interrupt it all! We’ll just have to wait and see!
