![]() So it's been a little while since I've updated so here's the scoop... I'm still pregnant. I've been dialated to 3cm and 60% effaced for 3 weeks now. They scheduled an ultrasound in early August because I had measuring ahead so they were concerned with his size. The ultrasound showed he only weighed 6lbs 8oz. Therefore no extreme measures were taken to induce me early. I always figured I would have him early but I keep getting closer and closer to my due date (8/20/15). So on Friday, my doctor tried to strip my membranes hoping to induce labor. Later Friday night I started contractions, concerned with how fast I may progress we went to the hospital. After two hours of monitoring they decided to send me home with no proof of progression. I was still at 3cm. I've had irregular contractions ever since. The doctor could not induce me without a medical reason before 39 weeks. But as of today I am 39 weeks. (Technically I've been 39 weeks since Thursday. This is due to my calculations from conception date but since the doctors go off the calculation of your last period I'm 3 days off). Now normally I probably wouldn't have tried to rush things but I really wanted a specific doctor to deliver me. This is the same doctor who delivered Addison and who I'd rather save all my questions for. She is much friendlier and more personable. However this doctor is off call for a week starting 9 am today. We were really hoping to start labor this last week and have her deliver. Unfortunately that doesn't look like it will happen. This doctor informed me that if I did not have this baby by Sunday that they would most likely schedule an induction for this week. Which I hope is still true with the other doctors. I know I may sound impatient with getting this baby out but I mean well. Even though the ultrasound showed he isn't huge I still am measuring ahead which means I'm carrying around extra fluid. I'm suffering from constant back pain which is causing a lack of sleep. I can't go anywhere or do anything without the fear of going into labor. I'm getting stir crazy and I want this baby out. With the short break between my two pregnancies I've literally been pregnant for two years and I'm more than done with it all. I'm tired of waiting...let's just get him out so I can get back to my life. #FarmMomLife UPDATE: I gave birth to our son, Cooper David at 6am on August 17th. He weighed in at 7lbs 6.2oz and measured 18.5 inches.
