Went to the hospital yesterday morning for what now appears to be false labor. They thought we'd still have her within the next couple of days or 24 hours however I am not feeling labor pains of any sort now. So we wait and I rest and hope she comes soon. I will go back to the doctor on Monday if she doesn't come over the weekend and we will schedule to induce. I really wish she would come on her own though.

8lbs? 8lbs! Went to the doctor again today and yes, you guessed it, Rori is 8lbs! She said that I am now dilated to 3cm and she has definitely dropped. Neither I nor the doc think I will make it til next Monday which is my next appointment but if I do we will schedule an induction date then. Let's hope we see her soon!

I've had three doctor's visits since the last time I posted. I am going weekly now, every Monday. At the first appointment I wasn't dilated. At the second appointment I was dilated to 2cm and this past Monday was at 2.5 cm. Rori seems to be dropping a little but not much however it is good that I am at least dilating and showing some progress towards labor. I am getting very anxious with anticipation as is Russ. I am surprised that Russ is so ready as I originally thought it might be overwhelming for him. He is very supportive and ready! The doctor was not able to give me an estimate for delivery thinking it could be from a couple of days up until the due date so we are trying not to get too anxious as it only makes the wait longer. It's hard though. We have decided that if she doesn't come before we will induce on her due date. For health and safety we don't want her to get too large and have any labor complications that can happen if a baby is over due. That means Rori will be here May 10th at the latest!

Slowly finishing up the Thank You notes and trying to keep up with them since gifts have been coming randomly since the shower. Everything looks so adorable in her nursery and will be put to good use soon. Today we got a Bumbo which are little seats kind of like the plastic booster ones you get at a restaurant only more functional. Also she got some toiletries and the cutest outfit & swim suit! It is getting to hard to wait. I will go back to the doctor on Monday and hopefully get some good news about her dropping. Otherwise I think she is determined to stay in there forever. :)
