Come On Baby, I'm Tired Of Bed Rest

I met with the Dr. today to discuss the ultra sound. He is very glad that Tucker has flipped to the head down position. I told him to join the club. :) He also checked me to see if I am dilated at all, and let's just say that Tucker is still sitting VERY high (The Dr. could not reach him... PAINFUL), and I may be dilated to a finger tip...maybe, the only good news was my cervix is softening. His final conclusion was that all signs point to going past my due date. I'm not too surprised, but was hoping that Tucker would at least come on time. I supposed he could still surprise us. I only gained a pound so that was good news. The final news of the day is I'm back on bed rest. Boo! :( He was more strict this time. I am pretty much homebound unless I have a Dr.'s appointment or I absolutely have to go somewhere. So now we are praying that Tucker comes as soon as it's healthy for him to make his entrance.

My sister-in-law Tory told me that my nieces always ask if it's Thanksgiving yet because that's when Tucker is supposed to be here. So I called Tory and told her that she needs to tell the girls to start saying Tucker needs to be here now. :) Hopefully that works. If anyone else has any other ideas I am open to them. Unfortunately with the bed rest I can't go walking or jump on a trampoline so those options are out. :) And, I know of one other option which is the same as how Tucker got in there in the first place (Thanks Sarah!). So any other ideas would be GREAT! :)

I love reading your blog. It sounds like you are having the same experience that I had. My first appointment that my doctor checked me, Isabella hadn't dropped yet and I was barely dilated. I was so excited to be almost done that it was more than a little dissapointing. But when she finally decided to come, it was pretty quick. So hopefully it'll be the same for you (but not 9 days late, I don't wish that on anyone). I just noticed your counter... only 16 days to go! YAY!

I was 6 days 'late' with Xander and right on time with Eliza...my secret? Have the doctor strip your membranes and then take some castor oil. :) I know, I know, it is nasty stuff...drink something w/ carbonation right away. Take a TB twice, 30 minutes apart first thing in the morning. Caution: my sister just had her baby 10 days after the EDD and it was only 6 1/2 lbs...so be careful. GOOD LUCK!!

I'm so glad Tucker FLIPPED!!! But Boo on the bed rest. Let me know when I need to bring over a meal. Seriously, that's what I'm here for. Oh, and I guess I'm totally going to loose the baby poll, sad. I hope all goes well!
