I went to the doctor today for my 38 week check-up. My weight, blood pressure, and measurements were all good. Apparently I had a "I'm done being pregnant" look on my face because the doctor asked immediately if I wanted to talk about getting this baby out. :-) Well sure since you asked! I didn't dilate or efface any more so I am still at a 3 and 70% effaced. But she said since my this is my fourth and I have had some contractions all week that they are fine helping things along when I am 39 weeks. So next Friday if he hasn't made his appearance yet, we are to check into the hospital at 6 am and have my water broken. So at the longest we have one more week till we meet this sweet, precious boy!
It's weird having a date set that he has to be here by. I've never been induced, and it's weird to know it will be over in a week. I'm making plans for next week like getting the house ready, grocery shopping, and taking some time off of work. Of course this could all be thrown aside with a surprise arrival! But if not, Jarod's mom is going to come Thursday night so she can be here with the kids on Friday. My doctor will be back from maternity leave by then, and it's MLK day on Monday so the boys will be home from school for an extra day that weekend. So it really is a good day to plan on having him. So sweet Nathaniel- we get to meet you soon! I'm ready to kiss your sweet face and snuggle you!!
Here's to a better year
