The verdict is

Sep 24

I’m currently 1.5cm dilated, -3, and 60%. I’ve made some progress but my cervix isn’t soft yet and she is still high up. Her heart beat was 154 which was a big change from the 115 or so on Monday. My blood pressure is excellent as always and weight is stable. She’s been active and I’m having some light cramping but I’ve had worse period cramps tbh so I’m not phased but they are becoming more frequent. I was instructed not to run any marathons or try to break any sex records (he has a sense of humor) to which I replied you have to have sex to break records.

On Monday morning if the baby is not here I am going to be at the hospital at 7am for the induction. If my cervix hasn’t changed in condition he intends on using Cervidil for up to 8 hours if necessary before administering Pitocin. He actually doesn’t think I’m going to make it until Monday given the conditions changing in the 3 days so another 3 will probably yield even more progress. I’d be lying if I said the induction won’t make things incredibly convenient in regards to trasnsportation and schedules working out for Randy with him working 6 days a week and lately 12 hour shifts. He can’t drive and no one else is allowed on the maternity floor with the exception of him so I’m going to be alone if he’s not around immediately. I guess time will tell right now.

For now I’m off to go take him to work. Poor guy running on 4 hours of sleep with another 12 hour ahead of him. He loves his job though which is always a positive.
