41 weeks + a new resolve

passing my due date was hard
and passing march was, also
but i am resolved not to have that c-section wednesday
there are a few reasons why
like the fact that i won't have seen my doctor since last thursday
and it seems weird to go straight to a c-section
how will i know if i'm progressing?
instead i have an appointment to see my doctor wednesday
and we'll discuss my options then
unless it's medically the best option for baby
i really don't want a c-section
and i'm trying to have faith that my body will go in to labor
on it's own
before too much time passes
this is definitely my last chance at a v-bac
no doctor would support me trying after 3 c-sections
and i won't question it after this
but i have to feel like i've given it my all
and i'm doing surprisingly well physically 
so even if my c-section is only rescheduled a day or two
or three
i will feel better about that
than having her wednesday
when that may be premature
come on labor!

"come on, labor" is right! I wondered if you were going to write about any progress notes. SO exciting, French Slurfee (yes, I decided to put your WHOLE name in there). :)

Great attitude! I was 10 days past due with Ryder and the whole thing can play with your head a little bit (a lot harder than one would think!) But I think you're doing way better than I did! Hang in there!

I think you are wise for weighing your options. If she is fine and you don't want another surgery, I think waiting is your best option. Go Rachie!

Lol I have been checking your blog all day! I hope you get good news from your doc, and your body's starting to make progress! That, or I'm hoping your baby girl decided to come on her own, and is already here!! The suspense is killing me!
