Well here we are...the 27th and still no baby.
I went in for my routine appointments yesterday, and had a growth scan done on the little guy just to see how big he was. He's currently in the 86th percentile, and approximately 8 lbs 1 oz, give or take about 7 oz in either direction. I've heard varying reports on the accuracy of these scans so late in pregnancy, so we'll just wait and see. The doctor agreed that an induction was still necessary, since I'm insulin dependant, and supposedly so much bigger than my past babies. The nurse even had a hard time hooking the monitor up for my stress test, because my budda was so big ;o) He (the doc) offered up a C-Section if I felt the need, but I turned it down since I've done just fine naturally with my passed two. No surgery unless absolutely necessary...
So as of now Jon and I will head to the hospital tomorrow morning around 7:00 and they'll break my water, and I'm sure new baby he three will come shortly thereafter.
As of yesterday I'm 3 cm dilated, which still means he can still decide to make an appearance at anytime.
I'm nervous, anxious, excited, and a little in shock. I can't believe I've made it this far without delivering early (since Gavin came so early). I also can't believe Jon are adding a new baby to our family hopefully by tomorrow afternoon. It's totally surreal since Gavin to me is still a baby at 17-18 months old.
Best Wishes & Many Blessings,
Shannon

My boss gave me the okay to get my story done as fast as possible so I can get out of here. Can't wait... I'm wondering how your labor is going... trying to send you positive, relaxing vibes....
