Since I last posted, I lost my mucus plug but nothing else is happening. Some people are probably thinking I'm crazy for stressing about it, but I feel like the baby is so squished in there right now and probably needs out! Plus, I will do anything not to be induced. I don't care if people judge me, it's my body and my baby afterall.
I called an acupuncturist today and she is coming over in about 45 minutes to give me a treatment to try and get something started. She is a lady my best friend recommended and she has a pretty good success rate. She said it should be even more successful on the first treatment since I have lost my mucus plug and my body sounds like it's ready. If not, I will do additional treatments as well as have my membranes stripped again at my next doctor's visit.
We're ready for this baby! We have the crib and bedroom set up, all of the clothes washed, the playpen's even set up in our room. We're just waiting! Matt has said he's getting anxious to meet this little person who has been growing inside me for 9 months :)
On a sad note, one of the ladies in my expecting group online lost her sweet little boy yesterday. When she was pregnant they knew he has trisomy 18 and his intestines had grown into the umbilical cord, but they thought they would have more time with him. He was born and an hour later he took his last breath and passed away. I'm so sad for her, I can't imagine how that must feel. I am really counting my blessings today and am so thankful to have a healthy toddler and that I am growing a healthy little baby as well. We really are lucky.
