Had a great appointment yesterday at my 38 week mark.  Ayla has dropped a little more, giving my doc hope that she will be here before Christmas.  If not, I go in on the 26th for another appt.  From my mouth to God’s ears, I won’t make it… lol!  I certainly want to ensure she’s “cooked”, but she’s already made it longer than Autumn did and Autumn was perfect.  Ah well, it’s not up to me, is it?

Dr. K. asked again about just letting her break my waters.  She knows I’m 100% against any interventions/medications in labor, and if she could guarantee me (she can’t) that AROM wouldn’t lead to other medical interventions, it would be a consideration of mine.  She wanted to book my room for the 27th… but I declined.  I just can’t wrap my mind around childbirth being anything but purely natural and nothing I need to have anyone but me, Ayla, and God messing with, know what I mean?  I certainly don’t remember having these considerations with any of the other three! LOL!  Maybe it’s age – I wasn’t so uncomfortable and ready to meet this little person and get on with our expanded family.  Maybe it’s the holidays.  Maybe it’s…. well… maybe.

So… I shall update if and when there is news, people!  Have a great day!
