Today's Doctor Appt

Well, I went in for my 38 week check up today. My bp was 145/92 where it's been for a while now and I had trace amounts of protein in my urine. Yay! Aren't I lucky. Got in the exam room and the doc decided he wanted to do an ultrasound to check my fluid levels and all after yesterday. My fluids looked great and my little one is already measuring in at 7lbs 13 oz. Then, he asked me when I wanted to have this baby. All I said was soon. He asked me if I wanted to wait for spontaneous labor but I told him with everything that's been going on and all the contractions I'm ready to be done. Plus I'm already 4.5 cm. So....


I GET TO HAVE MY BABY TOMORROW!!! yes yes yes

I can't believe he acutally said it. I think my bp and the protein had some to do with that decision too. He said he couldn't do it Friday because he promised his wife he wouldn't induce anyone this Friday. I told you he had a reason for wanting to wait unitl next week. We have to be there at 5 in the morning and I think he's going to try breaking my water first and if my contractions don't regulate on their own we will go forward with pitocin. Be expecting lots of updates and pics tomorrow or Friday!!!

Nope, I can't see anyone's pictures that uses photobucket. For some reason, the filters at work block them out. I used to have to go home and logon to see certain people pics, but we had the Internet cancelled at home because we are trying to get some stuff paid off; so we got rid of all the 'unnecessary' bills.

I hope she has hair! I forgot to mention that she's still sunny side up which totally sucks for me.

She'll more than likely flip once your uterus starts contracting.

Getting on all 4's helps flip them!!

Get on your hands and knees. You still have time for her to flip over.
