Let me explain...

So maybe I'm flattering myself by thinking that someone would pay such close attention to my blog that they would notice a big jump in my "days left till I'm due" ticker, so I'll point it out...I did get to change it today! I had a doctor's appointment as normal and found out that things continue to "progress" at a good rate, and my body is definitely getting ready for delivery. So I jokingly said to my OB..."I respond really well to pitocin...any chance of being induced?" He said he's not comfortable inducing without a health concern before 39 weeks, but then asked where I lived. I told him Pembine. He then said that since it was a half an hour drive and the weather around here can be so unpredictable this time of year that we could talk induction, especially seeing that I am already in "progress," and this is my 3rd baby, and I don't tend to have long labors. So all that to say that if I don't go into labor on my own before, I'll get to be induced on Jan 23! Shave another 5 days off the old waiting time! I then told him I lived in Crivitz (another half hour south of us) to see if he would shave some more time off, but he didn't buy it! :-) I figured a half hour drive got me 5 days less, maybe an hour's drive would get me a couple of more days! but no... it's good enough to be able to say that I only have 2 weeks to go! I was planning on blogging something fun today about finally being in the teens, but now I can be excited about being down to only 2 more weeks...at the most!

Congratulations on your shortened countdown! Two weeks will go by fast. I am praying for a safe delivery and a healthy little one for your family. Love to all. Linda Lynch
