Topic: Pruitt
I'm 37 weeks 2 days pregnant with Mr. Pruitt. And yes, to answer everyone's question, I'm still here. My mom calls numerous times a day when I'm not stuck at her house with her, and people keep calling like we're leaving them out. Do they not realize that I don't enjoy being reminded that I'm still VERY VERY pregnant?? This goes on my list of THINGS NOT TO DO TO OTHERS.
I was rather disappointed on Monday after my appointment. I had so hoped he'd go ahead and induce me this week, but he WILL NOT. I lost it after he left the room, and he knew I was upset. When I asked him how big he thought this one would be, he replied, "BIG." That was all I could ask. I just couldn't maintain my composure. But, with the help of some friends, I'm turning my attitude around and trying to see the positive. The longer I wait, the more likely we are to bring him home with us. And you know what, in the large scope of things, this really isn't in my hands. God has control and I need to let him take control. This is a concept that I'm currently working on.
We do have a tentative induction date - inducement date is what my dad calls it. It's set for Monday, Aug 8. Here's why this sucks. I'm literally on call, as is everyone else having to deal with this. We will not know for certain if we have a room until the morning of the 8th. How awful is that??? This is another reason that I'm hoping to go into labor on my own. For over a week I had contractions ranging from 15 minutes apart down to 3 minutes, now NOTHING. Maybe this is a good sign?? LOL But I do tell everyone I know, if you know some voodoo magic, do it and send it my way. Let's get this kid out!! And NO I WILL NOT DRINK CASTOR OIL!!!!! I think we've tried pretty much everything else. LOL
There's the update. Hopefully by this time next week I will have successfully given birth to a LARGE baby :) But I'll be happy with successfully delivering a 7 1/2lber too!
