I know, I know I have been extremely slack with the blog and I plan to be much better about it when "Baby A" arrives, which by the way will be next Tuesday, July 8th if all goes as planned.
I went last Thursday for my 37 week check up and saw Dr. Salley. While there, before he checked me out I asked him that if I went PAST my due date which is July 13, would he induce me on the 14th when he is call and he said that he did not mind doing that since I was already dialated at 36weeks and that I would be past my due date. Little did I know that after he checked me out would he offer the 8th as a possible induction date. I was shocked!
SC OB/GYN is known as a fairly conservative practice which I like a lot so I knew from the start that induction was really not their policy. But after checking me at that appointment he said I was continuing to dialate and thinning out so he gave me the 8th as an option (Note: I had already informed him that I had stalked his calendar to see when he was on call and that I was planning to only give birth on one of those days, and that I felt sure that "baby a" only wanted him to deliver...ha).
So when I left last week I had been scheduled for the induction, keeping in mind that when I came in this week (38 weeks) if he did not think I was progressing as he thought I would we would call it off. Well I went in this morning and I have continued to dialate and I am 80% efaced so he kept me on the books. I of course have gone back and forth on my thoughts about inducing but after thoroughly discussing it with Zack and Dr. Salley I feel good about it and trust him completely and am excited that he will be there to deliver our first baby.
Now having all that said and since there is something scheduled I will probably go into labor prior to the 8th which would not be at all bad but if I had my choice I would love for Dr. Salley to deliver he's the best!!! Plus I really could use these last five days to get all the last minute things done.
The nursery is pretty much done. Just waiting on my glider which should be here anytime and I have to go pick up the rug it came in yesterday!!
We are so excited and just can not believe that our little bundle will be here Tuesday!!!
I am also going to post a prego picture of me that was taken a few weeks back by John Wrightenberry. My mom has joined me in the real estate world which I am just thrilled about and we went to have her picture done and he shot some prego pics as well!! On the work note, mom has gotten her license and has joined me at Coldwell Banker United, Realtors and our partnership is in full swing so if you know anyone buying or selling we would LOVE to help!!
So here's the picture I was 32 weeks. I will have to get Zack to take one more.
