Bumps and Bruises

This morning I went into my doctors office for my NST (Non-stress Test), was hooked up for 20 minutes, heard Royce's strong heartbeat, and was sent home immediately after that. Unfortunately for me my doctor was called in to do emergency surgery and was unable to see me at all. Yes, I am only 1 day past my due date but my emotions took over and I just cried my way home. As you may already know I had my hopes pretty high about this appointment so it was a hard let down. I have been reading about how women can get discouraged and disappointed when their due date comes and goes but wow, I am feeling that now! Bless my mothers heart for trying to keep my mind out of the gutter and completely giving up. She makes me daily lists of ways to pass the time, a very good method of distraction if you ever find yourself in this position. If it were up to me right now I would bury myself under some blankets and watch a full season of Desperate Housewives on Netflix. (That's about 12, 40 min. episodes to put things in perspective).  

As for the plan of action in this upcoming week, Monday I have another NST, Thursday at 3:30pm my doctor is going to give me a drug to ripen my cervix, and Friday morning the 31st of August I will be admitted into Labor and Delivery to be induced. Still hoping and praying that I will go into labor naturally because I hear for first time mom's it's a lesser chance of having to have a C-section. But, all in God's timing...everything happens for a reason.
