Well, my sweet girl held on this weekend just like I had hoped. I was able to make it to my dance retreat. I had a great time seeing friends and making everyone nervous. They wouldn't let me do anything for fear that she might fall out. Ha.
This morning we had our doctor's appointment. We started with a sonogram. They wanted to check my amniotic fluid levels and Lyla's weight. Fluid was good and Lyla is weighing in at 7lbs. 7ounces. My internal check showed me still at 3-4 centimeters and 80% effaced. With everything be good, Dr. DLG felt confident that we could go another week if we wanted to. I really don't want to induce so Andy and I decided to wait it out. We did a stress test just to make sure because Lyla's movements have slowed down the past few days. She is responding well. I'm having small contractions, but nothing that I'm feeling. Lovely! We go back next week for another sono, exam and stress test. Dr. DLG said she will not let me go past April 16th, so Lyla has about 10 days to come out on her own. I am praying that everything happens naturally. I would love for Lyla to arrive before Easter, but I'm not holding my breath.
I still don't feel too uncomfortable. I do have some lower back pain, but it could be worse. I'm still exercising and moving around well. I'm just tired of getting on the scale and watching my weight continue to climb. Oh well, it will all be worth it in the end.
