Our last doctor's appointment!

Today we went to our last doctor's appointment as a pregnant couple.  We had an ultrasound, exam, and another non-stress test. 

They did an ultrasound to check the fluid levels around the baby, they could not check the weight as the margin of error was greater than what she might have gained or lost, it is not an accurate way to monitor baby's weight from week to week.  The non-stress test is the first indication of trouble with baby, the second indication would be the fluid levels in the amniotic sac, and the third indicaiton is the weight by ultrasound.  Since my non-stress test have been coming back great, and my fluid levels are good the doctor feels comfortable with continuing to let her grow inside mom until Monday.

We also found out today that my body is getting ready for baby, even on bedrest!  I am one centimeter dialated.  I have been having contrations regularily, all this is just helping my chances of being able to deliver without C-section.  I will continue to be on bedrest until D-day to help baby gain as much as possible.

We are scheduled to check into the hospital on Sunday.  They will administer some medicine to help my cervix soften and on Monday morning they will begin my induction. We should have a baby on Monday or early Tuesday. 

UNLESS BABY DECIDES TO COME EARLY!!  LETS ALL THINK POSITIVE THOUGHTS HERE!
