Appointment

My 40 week 2 day appointment went just as expected.  I joked when I went in that I'd be maybe 1.5 cm, well I was.  Baby is cozy and enjoying her time in utero.  I lost another pound, measured at 37 cm (same as last week), and my blood pressure was back to normal.  Doctor Jackson also decided to do a fluid check to ensure there's enough fluid since i'm measuring 3 weeks behind now.  It's great, at a 10, only needs to be a 5.  Because I'm overdue and no signs of progression, I have an NST (not real sure what this is) on Friday morning.  We then have an induction set for Monday morning if mother nature doesn't kick in before then.  So this time next week, I WILL be holding Sterling!  How exciting!  Another great thing was the baby is low enough now.  Last week she was still high, so I asked what would happen if she doesn't "fall" into the pelvic cavity.  He said we don't have to worry about that because she's already in place, we're just waiting for me to start dilating.  So, now I can relax, take it easy and get stuff ready.  I know she can still make her appearance at any time, but I'll just prepare for next week.

Have a great day!
