Well, I got some pretty good news at my doctors appointment this week. We got to hear her heartbeat again and it was 160 and she has been moving around even more this last week. Brad actually got to feel her kick so that was exciting for him. She was moving around a lot Tuesday night and Brads hand was on my stomach when she kicked really hard so we had a moment. :) I also got to see my stomach moving up and down from her moving for the first time and that was really amazing!!
I asked my doctor how soon he would induce me and he said that he will induce me July 28th if I am ready. He said 37 weeks is full term but most girls need the extra few weeks. I was pleased with his response though, he told me that he would schedule me an appointment to be induced on the 28th and check me consistently before that and if I wasn't effaced at least at 80% he would cancel the appt. and probably induce me the following Tuesday August 4th which would be my 40th week. Of course I want her to be here as early as she can be (as long as she is ready) so I was all for July 28th, even though its only a few days difference I still like the idea of July instead of August. I told my doc we have a lot of August birthdays in the family and I want her to have her own special month. :) I know I could always go into labor on my own which would be great as long as it was on or a little before August 7th. I am not a fan of going past my due date since I was almost a ten pound baby and plus my doc doesn't like his patients to go past their due date either so it works out for both of us.
Every time I have an appointment I like my doc even more he is so great. He's very attentive and responsive to all our questions and concerns, I will be disappointed if he doesn't deliver her. We made our next u/s for April 22nd so only a week from Wednesday, its my next big milestone!! We also made our 3D 4D one for May 15th so lots to look forward to.
