Monday Update and the PLAN :)

Well... I dunno if anyone reads this.. SO I guess I'll make yet another update just in case someone actually reads! HAHA...

Went to my appointment this morning.. they did my biophysical profile ultrasound (I have atleast one a week!)... and Baby V was bouncy and doing well! She did her practice breaths fine and the umbilical cord blood pressure was good.

They took measurements today since the doc pretty much assumed we'd be inducing this week anyways... Baby V is about 7 pounds now (just short of 7) but that is just a guestimate! and she's still measuring behind developmentally wise but I think only like a week behind or something (not positive on that).. but shes now in the 32nd percentile (50 percentile is ideal) but she went from the 9th, to the 8th, to the 23rd or something? then to the 32nd so shes doing good!!!! (Percentile means shes bigger then 32% of fetuses her age)

Stacy, my ultrasound tech said baby seems LONG! Her head is WAY low and her butt is WAY high.. and her job is just ultrasounds so I'm sure she knows what she's looking at! But, I am 5'10 and I guess on mom's side I have uncles who are like 6'7!!! (mom is adopted!)... So I'm hoping shes tall just for the fact that her carseat has 2 settings in size and not 3, so if shes short she might be too short for her car seat and thats one more thing for me to worry about :P hahhahah. WORRY WORT.. seriously!

So FINALLY i saw my OB.. Seriously this is the longest wait to see her ever! Usually I'm in there within like 15 minutes, but today I think it was about 45 minutes and I REALLY wanted to see her cuz I wanted to know what we were gonna do.. so I was very impatient and I'm getting quite big so its really uncomfortable to sit there.. I felt like I couldnt breathe!

Doc came in and asked "so are we inducing this week?" and I said YES. haha.. I really wanted her born on the 7th cuz thats my lucky number and hey, if I can pick a date why not get a number i want HAHA.. but she asked "tuesday or thursday" and I chickened out and said thursday (the 9th) WHich is Barbara's bday and cousin Jeremy's bday! hahah.. So we'll add another one to the list i guess!

I have to be there at 5am on thursday morning! I SO DONT DO MORNINGS! HAHAHAAH... I hate the hospital but I was kinda hoping to be admitted the night before so I'm already there in the morning! Sounds dumb i know.. So we gotta leave here by 4:30am to get there on time.. I dont know if its better to wake up the last minute and just GO or get up early and wake myself up and be nervous for who knows how long! hahah

I'm thankful I have some Ambien from before pregnancy (just found out I could have been taking it this whole time!) hahah.. but I'm definately taking one the night before so maybe I'll get a good nights sleep! Who knows!!

I am quite progressed on my own, so the doc said I may not even make it to thursday! She said baby's really like to come once an induction has been scheduled too! hahah.. Hopefully she'll just hold off till thursday.. itll make life easier i guess.

Oh, and the baby is facing my spine (Like she's supposed to be!) We learned in class when they're facing the other way you get back labor and thats supposed to hurt a lot! So she seems to be doing everything right on her end :) Good Girl! hahah..

I am going to take the epidural tho.. Kinda disappointing but the doc said shes going to have to break my water more then likely and with the pitocin, its going to be more painful then if I were to go into labor naturally! So she said I can have the epidural right when i get there if i want (im progressed enough on my own)... So I think I'm just gonna give in and have it! Why be in pain if I dont have to be especially if I'll probably give in to the epidural anways.. might as well take it from the get-go! Just not thrilled about having a big ol' needle in my back! ugh!

The doc expects to have a baby by 5pm.. so we'll see what happens!!

I dont know about visitors.. I dont really want a visitor during labor, thats for sure. I told the nurses no visitors and no phone calls during labor. And after she's born I'll just have to see how I feel. I'm thinking maybe the next day would be best? I dunno.. Kevin will be making phone calls once shes born and I'm sure I'll know more about how i feel then and he can tell people its okay to come down or to wait or whatever!

So HOPEFULLY NO C-SECTION! And hopefully I'll be released Saturday evening from the hospital.. but I doubt we'll be up for Easter with the family.. but ya never know!

We went to babies r us tonight and I bought her a "my first Easter" onesie and I bought "What to expect the first year" and I bought "babies first year Calendar".. WooHoo HAHA...

My headache wont leave (from last night) I think its a caffeine headache.. and I have nothing but tylenol to take :( so I'm dealing with that, plus being scared to death, and being freaked out by everything.. Kevin is just happy as can be.. I'm like OMG KILL ME! hahhaah

I'll be glad when she's in my arms and this is over with so I dont have to be scared anymore! hahha.. I wish her room was TOTALLY finished.. (its not!) UGH.. hopefully wednesday we'll get it finished up atleast more then it is now! Its all the decorative fun part that needs to be done but I Just dont have the energy to get it done on my own.. and kevin is a boy so decorative parts arent important to him!

So thats where we stand!!! SO SCARED! :P
