No change :(

That's the official report today. Same degree of readiness as last week and no baby yet. I did put back on about a pound of what I lost last week. That was kind of a relief after the stomach flu bout, although we are thinking some of that is water weight. My feet are a swollen mess, particularly bad these past couple days. My blood pressure is hanging in there at acceptable though, so they are not too concerned.

My doctor did have some pity on me and offer to schedule an induction next week...but I really don't want to go there yet. I am really not a fan of what I've heard about pitocin, and I wanted to try some tub labor (which you can't do with induction drugs). So we're just going to hang in there and see if anything happens naturally.

I did find out though that my doctor is headed out on vacation on Friday the 15th, about four days after my due date. So the chances of this baby arriving much past August 11th are slim to none! Baby E will be here and my feet should be back to normal by then!
