Guess where I went lastnight? I bet you’ll get it the first try…
L&D, AGAIN…
And once again I got sent home with empty arms… I’m not sure who to be upset with, my body for not following through after all of this, Little Bear (as I’ve started calling Joey, wonder if it’ll stick) for not insisting it’s time to get out, or the doctors for not doing SOMETHING. I’m getting pretty scared that Joey will get big like Michael, and that I’ll be forced to give birth to a LARGE baby again.
That wouldn’t be the worst thing ever, but considering that Michael’s birth experience at 9 pounds 10.5 ounces was a nightmare, especially compared to Aiden’s Breeze of a labor weighing in at 7 pounds 9 ounces. I’m getting so frustrated, and I was SO sure that he’d be here by now that I scheduled my Mom to be here, and it’s beginning to look like she may not even meet him before she has to go home.
What’s the most frustrating is that for almost a month now I’ve been told that I’d be induced around 38 weeks, and that “we’ll discuss it at the next appointment” and then when I ask about it they ALWAYS say “we’ll figure it out next week” Grrr! I’m really starting to worry about how this is going to work out logistically…
OK, so I went in, was contracting HARD every 2 minutes, by 6 AM when we left they’d spread out to every 4 minutes or so, an now they’re about every ten minutes and not very hard at all. Everything looks good with my labs and babies heart rate and movement even though I haven’t felt him so much, probably since I’m constantly contracting. I’m still dilated, effaced, and his position is the same, even with EVERYTHING I’ve done. We headed home at 6 this morning. Oh and I had a short ultrasound to check his position, he’s sunny side up, but head down, maybe that has something to do with his lack of motivation to move down. I need to go check out spinningbabies.com.
After we got home and got some rest even though the boys got up right after we went down (Thanks again Mom!) We’ve been busy. The biggest thing that happened is the boys FINALLY got haircuts for the first time since right before Sam and Sara’s wedding in late August. I haven’t been up to it since then, so I’ve just been combing their hair out of their eyes. I’m kinda going to miss brushing the hair away from Aiden’s face. A few days ago he caught me in a sad moment and came up and brushed my hair out of my eyes the same way I did his, and then gave me a hug and ran off. Sweet boy!
I don’t think Aiden saw the full picture at first…
Once we got done though he was thrilled!
Michael before.
Michael being very still, he was so good!
Michael after, I think he looks some like Uncle Nate, some like Uncle Jared and Some like Daddy, but MOSTLY like Michael. 😉
ugh!!! buzzed heads! It always makes me sad when Andy does this to the boys. I guess it is a boy thing. Your boys look super cute.
