Weight gain: Still 28 lbs. I guess I should be happy that I didn't gain this week. I hate when the doctor/nurse practitioners look at my chart and say, "Your weight is good." Blah!
Cravings: Bananas!
Symptoms/Changes: Nothing new since last week. Literally....nothing. I am still 1 cm dilated and 50% effaced. I should be happy that I didn't regress.
Differences I've noticed this time around: Again, at this point with Addison, I was very cheerful, not tired, could walk for days, and wasn't over being pregnant. This time, I am totally opposite. Hehe!
Things Addison says about the baby: Today she told me that she misses the baby, and even if the baby is crying, she will still miss her anyway.
Miscellaneous: The only negative that I have now discovered about my doctor being gone, is that the timeline of the baby's birth is in someone else's hands. My doctor had said that he wouldn't let me go past July 7th, which is only two days past my due date. The nurse practitioner on the other hand, said that she would like me to wait, because in all honesty, two days isn't a long time to warrant an induction. I don't want to induce by choice, just because there are so many negatives to it, and unless it is medically necessary, it is just a convenience for the doctor, BUT...I hate being told that I might be pregnant for 41 weeks. Lol! I have another appointment on the 3rd, and then again on the 9th. Boo!!! (Although my doctor will be back from his European vacation on the 9th). I really don't want her to have to share her birthday with anyone...not America, and not me. On a side note, I have decided that I am going to stick with the original hospital. I had said that I would switch if my doctor weren't here, or if it were an emergency, but when I called the hospital, and no one could tell me if I could pre-register (I asked since my doctor wasn't referring me), it seemed to be more of a hassle than it is worth. While I definitely like the other hospital, I don't like dealing with dumb people, or paperwork, so I will stick to my doctor's hospital...unless something changes.
