Maybe Baby.....

Its a full moon, but im sure its just going to pass us by....no gravitational pull here!!! So today we went for our 39wk appt. Dreycin was being stubborn again and just was to sleepy to wake up and do his biophysical profile tests, so we got put on the monitor again this week for 30min. He did fine, he is just a night owl and sleeps all during the day. My blood pressures are still higher than they should be but my dr suggested 2options. Option 1 would be to induce on Thursday Nov 5th or Option 2 induce on Monday Nov 9th(my original due date and my late Grandpa Doss' bday). Derek wanted thursday, but i chose Nov 9th. The only reason im doing that is because Im trying to give my body a chance to go into labor on its own, with an induction you always risk the chance of failing. Dr Weeks said that in a couple of days i could do the whole castor oil trick, which i was surprised to hear a doctor say. His directions 3tablespoons each tablespoon followed by a shot of orange juice (while holding nose). Im 2cm and 70%effaced, and my cervix is soft. We'll see....im anxious now because Derek has 24hr duty on sat/sun and my mom works all day on sat! Meanwhile I got a note to start my FMLA leave, so im officially done with work after tomorrow for 12wks! Woo hoo!!! I cant believe that it coule be 1wk until we meet our precious little boy! just thinking about it makes me want to cry tears of joy!
