Still hanging in there...

Today I am 5 days overdue. Had my weekly checkup yesterday with no change, still dilated to a 2 & 70%, but not enough to allow for a membrane sweep. Bummer. Because I am now late, the Dr monitored heart rate & contractions for 20 mins during the appt. Baby's heartrate was a little low, so he sent us to l&d to be monitored for 2 hours. Lots of contractions, some only 3 minutes apart, but in the end they tapered off. Heart rate looked good, so they sent us home. Frustrated with waiting, but happy baby looks good, and feeling like it is only a matter of time now. Best wishes to all the new mommys and hugs & prayers to all those still waiting!
