Well, Isla totally missed out on that awesome deal. Her loss. Thankfully there has been progress since last week so I'm feeling slightly more optimistic. I am dilated 3cm and 50% effaced. Pretty sweet to be dilated without having any pain. That is the one bright spot in all of this waiting :) I was hooked up to an external monitoring machine to monitor Isla's heart rate and my contractions. My contractions were pretty steady (not painful), per usual, and Isla's heart rate was fine. Tomorrow we will have another ultrasound to check the amniotic fluid levels. As of now, my doctor does not have any concerns. If fluid levels are low, I may be induced earlier than Thursday.
Currently the plan is to wait and see if Isla decides to make an appearance, if not, I am supposed to head to Regions around 7:30am on Thursday. I really don't enjoy the thought of induction, especially because a c-section is more likely with pitocin and an epidural, but whatevs. It is what it is.
I will post a picture of my nearly 41 week belly tomorrow! I'll also post any ultrasound pictures if I get some. I'm excited to see Isla tomorrow, although I'd rather it be in person. Oh well...soon enough!

Well I hear today is the day! Congrats, Good Luck and here's hoping for a fast delivery! I am thinking of all 3 of you today and can't wait to meet you Isla.
See! As soon as you make plans (i.e. to take another belly picture and to get an ultrasound) she decides to come. =) I CAN'T WAIT! I'm thinking of you today and wishing for a beautiful birth, and for Mom, Dad, and little Isla to all do fabulously.
