Labor update... or lack there of

Sooo went to the doctor again this morning.. Still dilated to 3cm, so no progress there. AND the hospital had to cancel all elective surgeries for the next couple days so I can't get an induction appointment. Last year mission hospital got the best score from the commissioner, this year they found a little sterility issue and protocol states that they have to shut down until it's solved! If it was a big issue I would be happy to not set foot, much less give birth in the hospital but my doc said it was the smallest thing and that the hospital has never been shut down like this. Now the backlog of c-sections and mommas waiting for inductions is crazy. What are the odds. Right when I was accepting  induction as an end in sight since baby and I are ready, that's no longer an option. 

We thought we were meeting our baby girl tomorrow as the last resort, we cleared our schedules and got prepared. Darn! Apparently God and miss Tayt have another plan. Talk about a patience tester. It's been tough keeping Trenton entertained and busy, especially now that we had nothing scheduled! We've been going to pretend city, parks, pools, mall etc but he can out run me by far at this point and there aren't many places we can go where I can just sit and watch besides home. Looks like its movie time until this baby makes her debut.. 

I do have another dr appt. set for Monday but hopefully won't make it! Doc says at that point i'm pretty late (almost 42 weeks) so he could pull strings to try and induce me out of medical necessity. 

That said, Trenton could very well have a birthday twin (oct 22) at this point, I thought there was no way I would make it that (or this) far.. Or, to this weight! Yikees. I feel like this pregnancy is never going to end and she's going to be in me until kindergarten. 

Crazy how life throws you curve balls! Hopefully next post will be a birth story! 

Quick but big update to this post... HUGE thanks to our amazing families for being 'on call' and so helpful with everything during this pregnancy. Lastly an enormous thank you to Shaun, my incredible husband, for putting up with my complaining/hormones and for being so patient and supportive during the last 10 months (not to mention the last couple trying -physically and mentally - weeks). I don't know how people do this or get through anything without both families near by and an amazing partner through it all. I am so darn lucky to have both. 

Hugs, 

BIG Bellied Momma T
