Weight went down a notch (203.2 vs 203.6) and my blood pressure went up (120 vs 100). Got a quick ultrasound since the boys were there and a cervix check would have been a bit awkward. Kind of a nice bonus for having to wait about 45 minutes for the midwife, but I kind of would have liked a cervix check to see if I've dilated at all at this point. Oh well. Baby is head down, but sunnyside up. I am betting the rolling I felt last week after I thought I'd dropped was him flipping over :/ He needs to turn back over, though delivering this way is better than breech. I was hoping that since I'll be on antibiotics anyway that I could go longer between water break and induction, but turns out it will be shorter. *crossing my fingers* my pattern changes with this one and my water doesn't break until I'm in later labor so I don't have to be put on the clock and sitting at the hospital waiting for my body to kick into gear.
I really haven't had much in the way of contractions this week. I did finally feel one this morning, but that's pretty much it. I am wondering if the way he's laying has anything to do with it. I can't quite figure out how his butt can be sticking up and his face at the same time. *shrug* He was pursing his lips in the u/s. Cute. Aaron got to hold the doppler while we listened to the heartbeat and read off the numbers. He was in the 126 - 133 range. My heart rate was up and his was down...
This weekend has felt like "the" weekend, but if it doesn't, I think it will be July. I think he is too cozy up there. I don't mind either way. I finally have some energy and drive to be out and active with the boys and not focused on 'projects' that I am enjoying this time right now. I don't feel in a rush except for the wonder of when.
