So we have a date. On Sunday 7/23 I will go to Baylor Garland hospital to start inducing. The time is 5:30pm, and I should be there at about 5pm with all my bags and stuff. On Sunday night after I check in they will put medication in my cervix to start softening it up and starts the dialation process, and on Monday morning I will probably start having pitocin if labor hasn't picked up fast enough.
It's so good to finally get a date. Now I know when Acacia is coming I can really start preparing mentally. So I have about a week before I see our little girl.
This morning when I went to my last OB visit, I weighed about the same(or gained about 1 pound) as last week. My BP was 110/70, perfect as usual. Brother Mike did an internal exam and said I am about 2 cms dialated. I asked him if we can set a date and he said I will have to go take another sonogram for size of the baby... I really did't want to because I already went 3 times and had to spend $20 each time copay. After the sonogram Dr. Graham & brother Mike decided I will be induced on Monday, and I will go into the hopspital on Sunday afternoon. Mike asked me again this morning what happened to my last labor, I told him because Timothy was so big I had a 4th degree tear. And he shook his head and said no we don't want this baby to be that big again. So that's the whole point of induction. Hopefully it will be a much easier delivery for me. I surely hope so too because I totally remember the pain I had from the tear last time.
At the sonogram Dr. Graham showed me the hair on baby's head. He said lots of hair and it's funny to see hair floating in the water. almost like little grass waving in the wind.
Philip will go buy the Taiwan rice wine in downtown Dallas. I asked for a discount because we will buy a dozen. It's still quite expensive. But this is the kind that doesn't have any salt and directly imported from Taiwan so it should be better. This is the same kind that I used both times with my boys. Sister Li-ling used to buy them for me since it's close to her work but this time we feel it's better that Philip go pick them up so we don't bother Liling too much because these glass bottles are heavy.
I taught Michelle her last piano lesson yesterday and it won't resume until at least 1 month after the baby. She has been a brillent student, learning so fast and it was easy to teach her.
I also bought Mustela Post Partum Body Restructuring Gel on line from ebay. It's much cheaper. Hopefully it will help my tummy go back to it's normal size and shape. I think we are about ready for everything that I and the baby will need. Now just the last few days of waiting.
