Amy's Update on Alice

I see Brandon updated, so I guess it's only fair that I share an update too. Oh my gosh get this child out of me!

As many people will tell you, I am not a patient person, at all. So the last two to three weeks when I started having contractions I got excited thinking Alice was on her way, well no go. After a doctor's appointment yesterday we found out that there has been no progress. At all. This was a very frustrating moment. I have missed work for the last week and a half because I'm too uncomfortable to sit for 10 hours in the chair at work, as well as some fun FMLA crap that is going on. But after the news yesterday, I'm going back to work at least half days.

The doctor doesn't think Alice is going to be coming on her own, thanks to the lack of any progress. (Poor Alice, the doctor tried to poke her head and he couldn't) So there has been a date set for inducing incase Alice doesn't decide to come on her own. That date is Dec 12th. I will go in at 9pm and stay over night, chances are I'll give birth to Alice on the 13th. How do I feel about this? Well...I am not happy, but we have to do what is best for the baby. If she wants to stay in there for another 10 days, then let her. She's got mine and Brandon's genes she's going to be stubborn, simple as that.

On the bright side, she is perfectly healthy, will probably weigh between 7-8lbs by the time she comes out, and if her foot in my rib is any indication, she's going to be a long baby. I've waited ten months (Yep ten months, count the weeks people) so far to meet my baby girl, what's another two weeks?

On a side note, I'm excited because I get another ultrasound, so I get to see my little girl again. :D
