So, I had my doctor's appointment today at 4:30. There was no change from the development at the hospital. He stripped my membranes and so far it seems to be working!! He said it had a 30% success rate, but hey, maybe I got lucky. It probably helps that things seem to be almost ready anyway. From what I've read, that seems to be the trick!
But, if this peters out, I am scheduled to be induced a week from Wednesday (July 16th)! So, I will be holding my baby on my due date instead of being frustrated because she is late!
Side note: I found a neat website to keep track of your contractions for you! It's called Contraction Master! All you have to do is hit the space bar at the beginning and end of each contraction and it will tell you the times, duration and frequency of contractions. How cool is that? We never keep track of the duration and right now, my husband is sleeping, so I can keep track all by myself with out it being a pain. (Well, except these actually hurt, so...) You can leave the website during a contraction and do whatever you like...say blog for instance!
I found another site, today. It's called BabyNames.com. They have list that are really easy to search and you just have to hover over the names to get a meaning and origin. It is my favorite baby name site, yet! We still aren't sure what to name this little gal, so I love to look, especially at the meanings.
So, wish me luck!
Update: Surprise, surprise--no more contractions and no baby, yet! I am starting to get really frustrated with this!
