Not today, maybe tomorrow
Aug. 4th, 2004 02:07 pmThat's what the doctor said yet again this week. Well, I'm thinking it's time to get off my butt and away from the computer and move around a bit. Do some chores. Take a walk. Whatever. Maybe being lazy is making the kiddo lazy, too.
My official due date is Sunday, and I have another appt with the doctor on Monday, during which we will discuss induction. I'm hoping she'll give me another 8-10 days from then for nature to take its course before we try the artificial route, but we'll see. Or, with some luck, I'll deliver over the weekend and not even have to go back on Monday.
She estimated the baby to be 7-7.5lbs. My BP is still good, the baby's heartrate is still good, and the baby moves around a lot, so things are seeming fine at the moment, knock wood (tock, tock). I gained only 1 more lb. this week, which is nice.
I'm off to eat a late lunch (I sort of substituted New York Super Fudge Chunk for my regular lunch), then either walk through the neighborhood a bit or work on something else. No nap, today.

I hope when the time comes you'll keep us all updated...If suddenly you don't post for a few days I'll assume the best!
