Thursday, 10PM Update

It was definitely a LONG afternoon!

I saw my OB at 1:00 pm - and she said that I was finally "inducable" Yippeee! (Meaning I've started to dilate and efface, and the baby is facing the right way.

I went to my Ultrasound at 1:30 - got this great picture of our little munchkin. look at that cute nose!

I also found out that according to all the calculations and measurements that this baby's estimated weight is 9 pounds 1 ounce. Hmmmm....

THEN, I saw one of the other doctors that my OB is associated with, the ones that actually deliver. After a LONG NST test (basically monitoring the heartbeat and any contractions) I talked with the other doctor. He decided after looking at everything that we'd wait until Monday to decide! Arrrrrrrrgh! Meaning....that even though I have a big baby, he didn't want to induce me yet because there's a higher risk of C-sections with inductions. But, there's also a higher risk of C-sections with big babies too!

On the other hand, Ryan was 8 pounds 5 ounces, he wasn't induced, and he slid right out without any prodding (or drugs! But that's ANOTHER STORY for another day!)

So, here we are...we wait a few more days to see what happens. Hopefully (please EVERYONE cross your fingers!) it all just happens on its own - SOON! :)
