So close...

Today we hit the 37 week mark. That means we have a full term baby on our hands. The growth scan on Monday showed that she is weighing 6lbs and 10oz which is right on track. She gave us a little scare on Sunday by sleeping almost all day and not really feeling the need to move. She woke up on Monday and hasn't quit moving since.

Tomorrow is our 37 week appointment and here are a few of the scenarios that could play out.

1. We meet with one of our doctors that we haven't seen in a while. She is super sweet and soooooo little. I really like her though and I am so glad she makes up the third doctor in our practice. Depending on how high my blood pressure is and how the baby is doing she could decide that we need to induce that night or possibly the next day. We will check to make sure no signs (other than swelling and high BP) of pre-eclampsia have reared their ugly heads. If they have it will be an immediate induction or c-section depending on how bad.  OR....

2. My BP could still be slightly elevated but showing no signs of BP and we put off the induction for another week. At this point the thought is that we will not try and go beyond 38 weeks because of my consistent high blood pressure. OR....

3. She could come on her own during that week of waiting but I am putting a big YEAH RIGHT on that one.

So to sum it all up....we could have a baby tomorrow but it won't be any longer than next week. As much as I love the doctor that we will see tomorrow and wouldn't care if she delivered Kennedy, our regular doctor is who we will see the following week. We have been with him through the last 4 years. It would be awesome for him to be the one on call. We are so thankful to go to a practice that we really to love and trust all three of the doctors and adore the nursing staff.

So that's the update. Until then it's a lot of Dallas, Waltons, Saved by the Bell, reading on the Knook and trying to pass the time until she gets here.
