Quick Blessing and Piper Update

BLESSING: So, we went to the doctor yesterday (Tuesday)...Blessing is still making very good progress considering no active labor yet.

• Heartbeat: good----CHECK
• Positioning: Head down, very low, already in an anterior position----CHECK
• Mommy's Blood Pressure: Remains low----CHECK
• Effacement: 50-60% ----CHECK
• Overall: Barring no strange complications, the midwife feels very confident we should still be able to have a natural birth and she thinks I am built for it, yay! Glad to know these Gambrell Hips are coming in handy----CHECK
  
• Arrival: NOT YET----NO CHECK!!!

Knowing that being more than 10 days overdue can put the baby's health at risk, the doctors have scheduled an induction for Wednesday, March 31 at 8 AM!!! We (along with our midwives) are very hopeful the induction is NOT necessary.

It's hard to believe that we will have an actually kid here within a week---yikes!!!

PIPER: Piper is still very uncomfortable but we are getting her medicine regiment down to an art. In order for her to keep herself from doing anything to the wound, she makes herself lay down. For those of you who have had the pleasure of meeting Piper, you know being lazy is not her style---so its hard to watch her just lay around so much. Hopefully the wound will heal soon so she can be back to her normal peppy self---we miss her :)
