Today was a fun day with my parents. Ross needed to do some work so Grandma Kooiker picked the boys up from school and watched them. My parents and I headed to Sioux Falls a little early and did some shopping. Then I had my ultrasound and my check up with my OB.
At 35 weeks (just 3 weeks ago) baby was 6 lbs 15 oz. Today at 38 weeks 1 day baby is 8 lbs 12 oz. Of course there is no way to know how accurate the ultrasound is. It could be off a pound in either direction. Lets hope if it's off that baby is less than 8 lbs and not nearing 10 LOL. Baby was quite a stinker yet again and had his feet in front of his face the entire time so no good pictures at all. The ultrasound tech showed us all the white around his head and said it's hair, so he won't be bald that's for sure.
I then met with my OB doctor. She said baby is measuring big and it was her recommendation to induce at 39 weeks. I felt confident with that because instead of just 1 cm like I was a week ago, I'm now dilated to 3 cm. I'm hoping/praying induction wouldn't be quite so bad. The doctor said the nurse would call me with a date for induction. I was super happy when we left knowing that in a week we will have a baby!
Not too long after my doctor's appointment the nurse called. I am now scheduled Thursday, January 24th at 7 am. I can't wait to meet this little guy. There is still a chance I could go into labor on my own before then, but at least I know that we'll get to meet him by Thursday at least.
Everything is pretty much ready other then a few minor things. I'm getting the boys care and schedules coordinated with Grandparents and we should be all set for Baby Boy #3!
