38 Week Dr.'s Appointment

I'm dilated to a "full" cm! No other progressions though :( My blood pressure is rising each week, but because I'm not swelling, Dr. Thompson doesn't seem to be concerned. I did ask her about when a good time to stop working is and she said, "The sooner the better." So my last day will be this Friday! My mind and emotions are running wild about leaving my students and closest friends at work. I know I need to focus on beginning our family and so I pray that this is the right decision!

I still feel Landyn move quite a bit each day and it's so amazing! I am so ready to hold her and feel her move in my arms instead of my ribs and other not so comfortable areas :)

Kris and my mom predict she will come around the end of next week. I'm thinking it will be after her due date. Dr. Thompson said we will wait until next doctor's visit to schedule an induction (she does not like to do them because it is a long, drawn out process). Her on call day is October 8th so I'm assuming Landyn will be here on or before then! Crazy!!

I've had so much support from everyone and so we thank you for making this time pleasant and special for all of us!!! We can't wait for Landyn to meet her amazing friends and family :)

Getting induced is a really long process - it was 26 hours for me. So, if you can wait it out you should. I'm so glad you aren't working next week. If you need me to bring you lunch or if you want to get together, let me know. You will really enjoy being at home. I was so relieved to be finished and you are right about giving the kids a smooth transition. Enverything will be great. I even did a little work after I was out that I was too tired to do while I was working, so that was nice too. Enjoy your last few days with your kiddos!
Oh yea, thanks for sending home my flyer. I think I already may have my first client!

I think at tis stage, we should be getting updates at least 3 times a week. Let me know of any changes, predictions, and feelings. I love you.

Did anyone start a contest to guess the date. I think I would win. Oct 2.
