Baby Girl update

We have plan.

‘We’ being my doctor and me.

My induction has been scheduled to begin at 6pm on Sunday night.  They give me a drug called Cervidil to soften and dilate the cervix (how’s that for a nice image).  Then the next morning they would start me on Pitocin, which is administered through an IV, and gets the contractions started.  I’ve never had an IV before.  I’ve never even been admitted to a hospital before.  The aim would be to deliver Charlotte on Monday afternoon.

So as frustrated and impatient as I have been, I now actually feel calm.  Because we have a plan.  Many days left for her to come naturally but at the same time, a definite end in sight.

Oh, and the doctor told me Charlotte has really long legs.  I’m growing a supermodel in there!

  1. whatitsliketodie said: If there’s a knowledgeable nurse there, she can measure the baby’s shins and tell almost exactly how tall she will be when she quits growing. When my son was born, the nurse said six-two, six-three, and that’s right where he is.
