Doctors appointment was uneventful. I finally stopped gaining weight, I haven't dilated or effaced any further so now she's started mentioning what we might do in the coming weeks to get things moving. She wanted to sweep my membranes right there but Dan was at work and there was no way I was going to take that kind of pain by myself, not to mention we aren't due until Sunday so intervention seems a little premature at this point. Next week we start doing non stress tests along with twice weekly appointments. On that note though I wouldn't mind it if she decided to show up on time but I really don't have any indicators of that happening so :p
For those of you who are on the baby alert system I figured I'd let you know the basics of how it will work. Essentially everyone who got a text last night will get another one once real labor starts, you'll then get one when we head into the hospital (which could be many hours apart so just chill ;), and you'll get a third once baby is here with all the vital stats and what not (which again could be many hours from the previous one) we may throw in a couple in between but for the most part these are the messages you'll get. With that you can respond with texts - which we may not be able to respond to depending on what's going on - but we won't be answering any phone calls so please don't try and call. Eventually we'll probably send out another text letting people know when we'll be willing to start answering the phone, but for most that will likely be after we get out of the hospital.
For those of you who didn't get a text, if you can receive them and would like to, just get your number to us - you can send me a message on facebook if need be. Also I'm sure we will be sporadically updating on facebook but that will be less consistent than the text message system.
So with that business out of the way, here's hoping she decides to make her entrance soon.
