Still Counting and a Backup Birthday Plan

GOOD NEWS! 2cm dilated and still 50% effaced, –3 station.

Right. So it’s progress, but we need to make a lot more progress!

As Andrew mentioned in his post, Dr. Weltman doesn’t want Kennedy to hang out past her due date, so when I saw her today we scheduled what I’d like to call the Backup Birthday Plan. I’m SURE that Kennedy will decide to make her appearance on her own (I mean, who wants to be told when they have to show up somewhere if you could simply show up when you’re good and ready…) but if she doesn’t, then her birthday will be October 4th.

Just in case you’ve forgotten where you placed your bet on the calendar…

Shannon bet on today…I’m thinking that’s lost due to the fact that I’m sitting around typing this and not having to stop for contractions…

KP and Ashley N. are betting on tomorrow. I’ve been given my 24 hour warning by the BFF. And because KP has rarely, if ever, lost an argument, I’ll be packing the final things in my hospital bag first thing tomorrow morning.

Friday’s takers are Susan and Melissa.

Saturday has Sarah’s bet and Sunday has Ashley P. and Lauren.

Since there are some VERY strong opinions in the short list of people, I’m going to stop telling you about placed bets there. If those people turn out to be incorrect, I’ll give you a whole new list of who could be right for next week…

Now if you didn’t sign the calendar and place your bet, you’ve got a serious advantage here…leave a comment with your best guess! As for me, I’ll be doing a lot more walking tomorrow. Thank goodness my mom is here to walk around places with me!

Yay for dilating!!! And I believe I picked that back-up birthday date. ;) I'm glad Mama is there to provide support and aid (not that I think Ace couldn't do it...but there's something comforting about having one's mother there). :) Sending good vibes your way!!! Heart you guys! :D

Awwww Man! I lost. It's okay, I will still adore Kennedy anyway! You know, all it took was issuing Aubrey an eviction date to get her to decide to come out on her own! :)

well, I'm a few days late in reading this post, but yay! While I was looking forward to possibly sharing my birthday with beautiful Kennedy, I'm so happy she gets her own special day and that you don't have to be too uncomfortable for too much longer :) Love you all!
