The Last Prenatal Visit - Week 39 1/2

Another good visit. I've gained 2lbs and my belly measurement was the same (39cm). I've dilated to 3cm and am still 80% effaced. Baby's heartbeat was in the 140's again.

Through the visit Jeff and I talked about how much we were wanting an October birthday and were really hoping for the 30th or 31st. Dr. Kyzer (being as cool as she is) says to us, 'Well, do you want me to check and see if there is an opening for induction tomorrow?'. My mouth dropped and eyes bugged and all I could do was stare at Jeff for reaction. I was at a loss for words. As much I've talked about tomorrow I guess the reality of it being a set thing kindof hit a little harder than expected. After taking a few breaths and me asking Jeff what he thought, we said okay check on it for us. It was only a few minutes later that she came back and said there was an opening and she would be happy to deliver tomorrow! So...we're having a baby tomorrow!

We're scheduled to be there at 7am so you should see a new post by tomorrow evening (hopefully). I'm sure we'll be anxious to share the arrival with everyone and I'm sure we'll be able to post a photo as well. So check back in throughout the day tomorrow to find out who this is that I've been carrying around with me this entire year! I've had a really great pregnancy and hopefully I'll enjoy them as much in arms as I have in my belly! :)

AHHHH!!! Im soooo stoked for you!!! Good think I got Jeff to practice his infant holding with Evan so he can feel very confident with sprout. LOL ;). Oh! I'm so excited. I will pray for speedy healthy delivery. I'm partial to a girlfriend for Evan rather than a playmate. LOL! Good luck. I hope you will get to have at least a little sleep tonight with the excitement. ahhhh.... i can't wait....!
