still no baby

When we left the hospital Saturday night, we thought for sure (along with the nurses) it would only be a day at the most before we would be back at the hospital having Lincoln. Little did we know, we would get home and my contractions would all but stop! We have a feeling we will be keeping our doctor's appointment for Friday. We're also thinking that Dr. Riely will probably be scheduling for me to be induced ... which we're fine with at this point.

I know you know how much I love Lincoln and how thankful I am to be pregnant, but I've got to tell you ... the last month = rough. My feet and hands are massive. I've had a backache for the last month, that doesn't go away. My swelling has worked it's way up into my legs. Now when I press on my shinbone, it leaves a dent. My hands and wrists ache (from the swelling). I'm not sleeping ... and although I go to the couch when I can't, my poor husband isn't sleeping either! I think he's having sympathy pains. I have little to no energy. Being induced never sounded better! ha! There is a full moon on March 11th so maybe that will help me go into labor and an induction won't be necessary! :)

Girl I feel your pain!!! I'm so luck that the swelling has been little to none this time but with Brooklyn, shew! I didn't know my body could hold so much water.

We were scheduled to be induced on a Thursday but Brooklyn didn't last that long and hopefully Lincoln will feel the same and want to come!

Hang in there. He will be here before you know it.

Sorry Megan I know it can be rough. Katrina was born at 42 Weeks exactly. A C-section after 29hours of labor and she is so worth it even today.
