Statistically Speaking

According to the ultra expensive, somewhat conclusive test I took exactly two weeks ago, I had a 50/50 chance of having our little guy by today. Just goes to show you that not all tests are accurate. I am still here, on the couch, without a baby. But Caleb and I did have a doctor appointment this morning, and here is what we found out:


1: The number of centimeters I am dilated
2: The number of days before I go in for yet another ultrasound. Just need to make sure everything on the inside is looking A-OK.
4: The number of days left before I can ditch the uterus calming pills
8: The number of days before my next appointment. We have to go once a week until the big day.
11: The number of days left before I am completely released from couch duty. At 36 weeks, I can do whatever I want!
50: The percentage effaced that I am. And the doctor said she can feel the baby's head. Yeah!


I need to make a paper chain to start the countdown to mommyhood!

Did the doctor say what would happen after you went off your uterus pills? I had a friend who was taking those pills and as soon as she stopped, she went into labor. Is there a chance that will happen to you? Not that it would be a bad thing ;)

The doctor said that they are not concerned with me delivering any time after 35 weeks. If I should go into labor, they won't stop it and the prognosis for the little guy is good. So come Friday, I will be pill free. With my luck, I will go off the pills, and I will go off of bed rest, and I will end up delivering after my due date!
