Well, today is our due date. Apparently our baby is tardy.
We had a 2-hour week 40 doctor appointment today.
It started off nice with a non-stress fetal monitoring session, which was kinda cool. I got to get all comfy in a nice recliner and sip on some Hi-C to get the baby all riled up. We got to see the baby's heartrate go up and down with movement. All was well.
Then we were off to see the Doctor, who proceeded to try and strip my membranes (look it up), and was not successful :( But she let Ryan find the heartbeat, which was very cool.
Then we got an ultrasound...this is where we found out that the baby is bigger than both Ryan and I thought (since there is a pool going on, I am not going to say what they think it is). I was rather surprised and a little scared...but we are both very happy that everyone thinks the baby looks great.
So, a trip to the mall to walk around may be in order for us this week...if nothing happens, we will be induced on December 5. Ugh.
That is all for now...just trying to get as much sleep as possible cause I hear I won't get any for the next 18 years ;)
