Make a new plan, Stan - 39wks 4days

We went to the birth center one more time this morning for another NST and blood draw. When we walked in, I was the current topic of discussion. You see, it's unusual to have your water break and then reseal, which is what we think happened. But really no one knows how unusual it is because in most cases women are induced if their labor doesn't start within the first day. In my case, though, I stopped leaking after two days. And, ever since then, every test we've had has been normal. No evidence of continued leaking, no evidence of infection, and the baby shows every sign of being healthy and happy right where she is. And, no reason to induce. So, we all decided that today will be my last day of testing, and I'll go back next Wednesday for my next prenatal appointment. I'm officially just pregnant again, and my due date is this Saturday, and it's normal to go as much as two weeks past your due date. I'm happy to not have to keep getting my blood drawn, and that I'm not really facing the risks of infection that I would be if I was still leaking, but I'm a little bummed that I'm "just pregnant" again :)

So, today, I'm rearranging furniture, catching up on thank-you notes, and cooking for my man. And still contracting a little, but nothing to write home about. Stay tuned and we'll let you know when the excitement starts (again)!
