baby update

yesterday was a hard day

i hardly got 4 hours sleep the night before

because of my darn arms

and i went to my ob appointment

only to be disappointed that i'm 1 centimeter dilated

and 50% effaced

neither of which are bad

but she is still SUPER high 

and maybe a little stuck that way

like olive was

the doctor is prepared to let me go to 41.5 weeks

i, on the other hand, was not prepared for her to let me go

that long

so that was a little hard to hear

but i am so glad that i have a doctor 

who is so supportive of a vbac

at that point if baby hasn't come on her own

and is low enough

the doctor will break my water while i'm being monitored

otherwise it's a repeat c-section

i just really, really, really hope

she comes before that all on her own
...
luckily my husband is amazing
and took all three kids with him last night
to buy me flowers and pick up dinner
and some things we needed at the store
so i could have a little down time
seriously i don't know how i would survive without him
and i am so grateful for his support
...
a few positive things to not having the baby yet are
michael and i will get another date night in
and will go see the hunger games for it
i will get to go to noah's science fair
not that it's a big deal
but it's nice to be able to support him
and
the first week of april is noah's spring break
so we won't have to worry about getting him to or from school
or making sure he gets a snack packed and all that
and also hazel doesn't have ballet that week
so it will make being otherwise occupied
a little easier
...
on that note
it's hard being a mom of almost 4
and worrying about the one inside
and how and when she will get here
while making sure the other three are taken care of
especially without having family nearby
