Lovebug Update!

There's progress! Little, but I'll take it. I'm 1 cm dilated, 50% effaced. Nonetheless, we've scheduled an induction for Thursday morning.

The ultrasound went well, he looks good and big! Very active, the guesstimate for weight is 8 lb 9 oz (yikes!!)

Please keep sending your vibes so he gets the show started before Thursday morning!

Job update: The interviewer dialed the wrong number when trying to call DH's boss for a reference. But DH is definitely a candidate and he'll call back to set up an interview. (YAY!!). Please keep those job vibes coming too!

Thank you, ladies!!

    Hmmm....for the life of me I thought it was only one day apart.  Oh well.  Maybe he is just waiting for his formal debut and he will surprise us all. Big Smile

  • Thanks for the update! I've been thinking about you all day and I'm so excited you're going to meet Lovebug soon!

    This is a dumb question - but why do people do inductions? Like, what would happen if you just waited it out and the baby came whenever? Sorry to sound like an idiot but I've always wanted to ask about it since I'm so clueless and I know you gals won't judge. ;)

  • Awesome! Maybe he will decide on his own before Thursday :) Thanks for the update, I even had goosebumps when I read your blog!

    I could be totally off on this, but I *think* it's because the longer past 41 weeks or so the amniotic fluid levels can drop and the chance for stillbirth rises.

    Exactly! Plus if they get too big the chance of an emergency c sec goes up. Lore I'm so excited for you! I hope he's not as big as they projected though - although if he is he'll be good and healthy! Also did the doc sweep your membranes? I swear that is what put me into labor!

    Twink: that's it exactly. I think he's stll doing well with amniotic fluid and he shouldn't have problems going to 41 weeks, but he's big! Basically it was Thursday or Sunday (or being delivered by another random doctor, which DH is completely against). We chose Thursday based on size. And, honestly, we like the date better Embarrassed and DH didn't want to wait.

    Rachel: No sweeping, but I will request it if at all possible. My cervix is still way up there, he could barely reach it... Most likely it'll all start with prostangladins to soften my cervix.

  • How exciting on both the Lovebug and job news!
