We went to the doctor yesterday and I'm still 1 cm dilated. The doctor said that they wanted to induce labor that night because of my high blood pressure. It wasn't terrible yesterday, but it wasn't low either. It's been up and down each week. They are concerned that it might turn into preeclampsia. I believe another reason they wanted to induce last night was because they know that Veronica is developed enough to not be underweight. They also gave us the option if we didn't want to induce that night to wait until Sunday (they don't induce on the weekends) and see if she decides to come on her own. This is obviously what Matt and I decided since we didn't go to the hospital last night. You wanna to know how we decided? We played Rock, Paper, Scissor. No lie frog eye. Thankfully I won and I was Sunday. Even though I won, I'm 99.99% sure that we would have gone with Sunday anyways. So, here's our time schedule for Sunday:
Lunch: Last big meal of the day
3:00 p.m. light food after (i.e. soup) but continue drinking fluids
7:00 p.m. call the hospital to make sure they still have room for us
8:00 p.m. Get to the hospital to start the process!
Sometime after 8:00 p.m. HAVE OUR DAUGHTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We'll try to keep you as updated as possible though here. If you're on Facebook or gmail, you'll probably know before you know just from here, so check there. Most likely I won't feel like updating on here till after I've slept and rested.
I'll also try to come up with an email "tree" tomorrow, so if you want to for sure be added to that list, send me an email at kathryncmonroe@gmail.com or post your email here.
VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY EXCITING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOVE YOU ALL!!!!
