I must say that last week I had an appointment which went great. My doctor checked me and said I was almost 2cm dilated and that I was very soft. All great indication that soon labor could come or that I was at least on my way to that. Well, today I had an ultrasound appointment to check how big the baby was. All went very well she is measuring about a week bigger than expected. I was scheduled to have this done because my doctor was/is concerned about the baby's size. Well, apparently this ultrasound, so far in the pregnancy, is not very accurate. It can be + or - a whole lb. They "guesstimated" that she was between 7.15-8.06, so really a good size baby, if accurate. Well, I decided to start labor on my own by using my breast pump to start my contractions and get things moving a long. Contractions came and they were very strong but not super consistent. Regardless, we went to the hospital and got checked and monitored for almost 2 hours. As you can now see I am HOME! Not really how I planned the night to be but... whatever... Milli (and God) have other plans. She is not ready to come into the world yet. As disappointing as that might be, I really am fine with it (or at least I will keep telling myself that). I am SUPER tired from "laboring" all day so I should have a good night sleep, FINALLY! I have been sleeping terribly due to anxiety and nerves of the big day which will soon come. So... there's an update for those that really care. I am still very hopeful that she will come very soon as she can't stay in there forever.

The last few weeks are SOOO hard! I remember trying to do the same thing with Jason. Good luck!
Sorry she didn't come early. Better that she stays in until totally ripe. Just not too ripe. I worry as much about them being in too long as coming too early. 38 weeks is considered full term. Sorry about the discomfort, that must suck. But, the baby will be here soon enough, and you will get to love on her as much as you want. Good luck!
I'm excited!! She'll be just perfect, as well as her timing coming into the world. It'll be worth the wait.
Lau, you look amazing! Seriously beautiful!!! Hang in there!!! I wish I could come and entertain you for a week to keep your mind off when that babies coming! Just do what I do... get induced!!!!
Lau, no falta naaaada!... Pero conozco la ansiedad de este momento; la última vez que la viví fue hace sólo 3 meses... así que tengo bien presente de qué se trata!... Te deseo un excelente parto y toda la felicidad para la llegada de Milli. Los queremos.
You look so beautiful, Laura! I hope sweet little Milli comes soon!!
I am so excited for you. Can I come hold her? I love holding little timy newborns. I tried the same thing with Benjamin too. Unfortunately with no luck. I hope she comes soon for your sake.
It was so fun to run into you & your darling kiddos downtown today! I'm thrilled to be able to stay updated on your family now. Good Luck with the upcoming arrival of the baby, I love giving birth, it's so incredible.
The countdown is always the hardest. Alicia went to the hospital Friday for the same reason. Her contractions were down to 2 minutes apart and then nothing. So frustrating. But you're right, it will be really soon. I can't wait to see all these new babies.
lau, falta re poquito! es increible como han pasado estos 9 meses! tranquila que ya no falta nada para disfrutar a Millie! besos y muchas felicidades!
Thanks for the love ladies! I need all the support I can get cause honestly I am SOOO Flippin' anxious for this baby to come OUT!!!!
