Well, it looks like Hudson is going to be just as stubborn as his mama..and dad for that matter! I'm headed into my 40th week of pregnancy and he's showing no signs of joining us on his own.
At 36 weeks we had an ultrasound to make sure he was head down, which he is, and to get an approximate weight (6 lbs 15 oz with an error rate of 15 oz) At that point I was dilated at a 1cm not effaced at all. The next week was the same. At 38 weeks I was between a 2-3 and 75% effaced. I go to the dr every Wednesday and at that appointment she told me, and I quote 'I'd be shocked if you didn't have him by the weekend'. Don't say this to a lady who's been pregnant for 38 weeks unless your positive! The Thursday after that 38 week appointment I was 99.9% sure I was in labor. I was up all night with contractions and awful back pain which went on into Thursday night and then came to a stop. Since then..zero signs of labor.
I went back to the dr this past Wednesday and was still at the same 2-3cm and 75%. I may or may not have told her I wanted to kick her when she told me that....
Because of his size and the fact that over 2 weeks I haven't progressed anymore she wants to induce this week on the 26th. So, as of now I'm scheduled to go in Thursday am to be induced. I'm not thrilled about this at all and am still praying he comes on his own in between now and then but whatever happens I'm just beyond ready to finally have my baby in my arms.
I haven't taken many pictures lately and hate when people take mirror shots but I did hurry and take one last week fully expecting to 'have him by the weekend'.
Now since we have one more weekend with no Hudson Cliff and I are spending it cleaning, organizing and trying to soak up our last weekend as a family of 2 (or 3 with Missi)
