Tomorrow is the day! Tanner and I went to the doctor again today for my 40 week appointment. They had to do a NST (non stress test) and AFI (amniotic fluid index) since I am past my due date; everything came out just fine. They said the baby's heart rate was great and baby sounded healthy, I wasn't really having many contractions that were picked up on the monitor and the fluid level needs to be any where from 5 to 25 and my fluid levels were 14. Pretty much they said that the baby is happy and healthy where it's at and they didn't think it was going to be going anywhere on it's own. Therefore, we have decided to be induced. I'm not too thrilled about induction as many of you are aware, but I am very excited to meet this little one!
So, I'm scheduled to arrive at the hospital tomorrow morning and they will start the pitocin shortly after that and then they'll send in a doctor to break my water. Hopefully everything will progress as smoothly and as quickly as my doctor is predicting. It looks like April 22, 2010 should be my baby's birthday! Send as many prayers as possible our way and we'll keep you all informed.
Next time you hear from me, I'll be a mama!
Wow, how crazy exctiting! I keep thinking about you and wondering if you have had that baby ;)
