I had another appt today and everything is still looking good. My bp was 126/68 and I gained 1 lb. The baby is still moving good and his heartbeat sounds good. I got checked and the midwife told me that I am 3 cm dilated and 80% effaced. She thinks that I'll have the baby within this week. She had me make an appt for next monday, in case I don't go into labor, but she doesn't think that I'll last that long. I think that I lost my mucus plug (sorry if this is TMI), which means that I might go within the next day or two. I guess we just have to wait and see, it's all up to Dominic now. I was hoping that he would wait until I was 42 weeks and then I'd get induced, that way BJ would be here when I go into labor. But that doesn't seem to be what is going to happen. It looks like I'm going to have the baby and BJ isn't going to be home until 2 weeks after. I hate knowing that I'm going to have to go through this alone & I know BJ hates the fact that he's going to miss the birth of our first child and not being there for me. It sucks that he's going to miss the first 2 weeks or so of our son's life, but there really isn't anything we can do about it. I guess I'll just have to take a hell of a lot of pictures of him & email them to him & put the phone to the baby's ear whenever BJ calls so he can hear his daddy's voice. I'm worried that the baby isn't going to recognize his daddy, & that he'll cry everytime BJ holds him. But BJ is confident that the baby will know who his daddy is. If anything I'm hoping that Dominic will recognize BJ's voice.
