Woohoo!! Dr. Linfert says that we should be welcoming Kirkland into the world between now and the end of the weekend! (Talk about disappointed if she's not here by then!) I'm so happy to finally have some sort of "time line" instead of just not knowing.
I actually thought my water had broken yesterday and when I went to my appointment she checked and said it wasn't that (but luckily not pee either!) but probably due to some rapid cervix changes. :) Jordon said my eyes got huge when Dr. Linfert said "4cm and 75% thinned." It was a huge relief that something had changed since last week all that Dr. Goode said was it was "thinned."
After she checked some fluid under the microscope she came back in and said that while the fluid wasn't amniotic fluid that it would be "very soon" and most likely happening between "tonight and the end of the weekend."
Of course nothing happened last night and I think we actually got some decent rest. I keep telling myself this could be the last time Jordon and I can get a good night's rest with just the two of us.
I did hit me last night that if I'm at 4cm, I could get an epidural time I got to the hospital...haha. I want to go as long as possible, but 8cm is the cut off and what if I dialte a lot more before I have to the hospital and don't get there in time to get one?? EEKKK!! Only I would be freaking out about this, but although I highly doubt I have to face that problem, it worries me that I'm at 4cm and didn't even realize it...and haven't had any noticable Braxton Hicks contractions lately.
Hopefully it'll happen soon. We just have to wait until a) my water breaks or b) contractions 5 minutes apart for more than an hour and I'm not able to talk through them (I may make the call a little before they're 5 minutes apart though).
Maybe the next update we'll have a birthday to announce and new family member to introduce!! :)
