The date has been set

39 Weeks
(Sorry...it is a bit hard to take a belly pic of yourself)

I went to the doctor yesterday, and I have not made much progress at all. I have only dilated .5 cm in 3 weeks! :( At this point, the doctor doesn't think I will go into labor on my own, even though I am having sporadic contractions. We are still hoping that I do go into labor on my own, but just in case, she has scheduled a date to induce just a few days after my due date. She has scheduled it for a few days after my due date hoping that my body will make a little bit more progress. She said that if they were to induce labor at where I am now (only 1.5 cm), there is a higher risk of having to do a c-section. Hopefully I will make a little bit of progress so labor isn't so long and the risk of a c-section will decrease!

  1. Praying for you, Jen, that labor will start on its own, that it will be short and sweet, and that little Bryce arrives safely.

  2. I will be praying that Bryce stops being stubborn and decides to come on his own. I will call you later. Love you.

  3. Time to eat some spicy food and go for a jog! haha. There's some advice from someone who knows nothing about being pregnant. :) Praying that he decides to come on out!
