We had another appointment today. I measured at 39 and the heartbeat was 163. He didn't do an exam to see what the progress is because after last week's exam I had some bleeding that obviously made me uncomfortable. That, plus the fact that an exam now isn't necessary, made him decide to hold off for this week.
So, its still a guessing game on when labor will start. It is definitely something that Pete and I are having to trust the Lord for and be patient with. It could be tomorrow, or it could be another 4 weeks. Whenever it is, we know that it will be God's timing.
One concerning thing we found out today is that our doctor will be out of town on a mission trip to Mexico March 21-28,which is great for him, but means we may have a doctor that we are uncomfortable with... some of the other doctors that fill in have reputations for not complying very well with the wishes of Bradley patients. Dr. Nord assured us though that the ones that fill in for him are respectful of the preferences if his patients. Who knows, maybe we will give birth before or on our due date and we won't have to worry about that!
