39 weeks and big news!

We're getting ready to meet this little boy we have loved from the start...

I had my check-in with Dr. Nerdy Professor. He did the internal (at long last) and seemed surprised to announce that I was 3-4cm dilated. However, he worried me by also announcing that my fundal measurement seemed low.

So, I was whisked off for an ultrasound and we found that Gabe is measuring well--this last estimate was 7lbs, 12 ozs though she said that might be tad bit high. Everything else looked good, so I was relieved.

After our usual non-stress test (which Gabe passed), the doc gave us our options: get induced tomorrow while all is well or wait another week and then if nothing has happened, get induced then. After the scare about fundal measurements, I opted for TOMORROW. I just want him out while all is okay.

I am nervous, excited, anxious, overjoyed and overwhelmed. Please pray that all goes well. They'll start me on Pitocin tomorrow at 11am and we may have our boy by tomorrow evening.

Stay tuned for the rest of the story...
