No baby yet

Not much progress at the dr. This dr said its common for first time moms to go past their due dates. I'm eating eggplant and raspberries to try and help things along. Next appt tues and I hope I don't need it. We walked all day so hopefully that helps!! Exhausted so I'm glad I'm finished working. We bought a crock pot with a timer and I'm super excited to get some recipes perfected before Corey gets home.

Corey is doing well but of course ready to come home. He got to Skype with the dogs the other night and they were super excited! He has lost 10 lbs and getting a good routine at te gym. He is super anxious for baby to make her appearance too.

1 week left?

Had my 39 week dr appointment today.  Everything looks great and baby is dropping.  She doesn't see me going much longer then a week more.  At my next appointment (the 7th) they will do an internal and see if I'm progressing.  At that point I will have the option to schedule an induction for 41 weeks.  I never thought I would want to do this however then my mom can come the 10th and not sit here and stare at me for two weeks waiting for me to go into labor.  They won't let me go past 42 weeks however that's Thanksgiving week and baby is measuring big so their is no health reasons to wait that long.  I feel like my situation is unique and it is forcing me to think outside of the box.  I may or may not go before my next appointment on the 7th (no contractions yet) but the Dr told me to get my bag packed and ready (I'm a procrastinator).  So if I'm still pregnant on the 7th I'll schedule my induction and walk ten miles a day once mom gets here to get her going on her own.  Since today I was measuring 39 weeks I'm hoping on Wednesday I'll be measuring 40 or 40 + and I can make my induction early the next week.

Corey update:  He is doing great and really loves his job and the missions he is doing.  It is great to hear him in great spirits.  Thanks to the wifi I have been able to talk to him daily, sometimes only a few sentences letting me know he is ok and sometimes we can chat for a while.  He is going to try to call once a week and it is amazing for us (Ellie's favorite) to hear his voice.  Daddy doll came in and we have his voice recorded so baby girl can hear his voice everyday.  We will hopefully get skype set up this week so it's ready for whenever baby is!
