Well... December 15th has come and gone and baby girl is still swimming around in my womb. My mom and I tried it all yesterday with hopes that my Doctor could deliver her.
We started the day with breakfast at the Hilton Mission Bay where she is staying to be close in case I go into labor then we walk a few miles around Mission Bay. I did a little walking, running, swinging on the swings, walking in the sand, and drinking raspberry tea. After Ian got off work we headed to the hospital to get checked and monitored to see if what I am feeling was indeed contractions. I was still dilated to 5cm, but the monitor did show I was having mild contractions about 5 minutes apart, but even after an hour of laps around the maturity floor there was no progress. My Doctor hugged me and gave me lots of encouraging advice and said that baby looks perfect before sending me home ( also she recommended Tylenol PM for a good night sleep and boy did it work 9:30-6!!!) So here I am ready for another day walking, bouncing on the yoga ball, and praying for a soon arrival from my baby girl.
