No, there's no baby yet but we do have great news!!! Yesterday I went to the ob/gyn and they did an ultrasound to see how big little Sarah is getting. (Nate was 9lbs 5oz. and had a broken collar bone so they don't want my babies to get that big again. Knowly was induced 2.5 weeks early and was 8lbs. 6oz.) The ultrasound said she is 7lbs. 15oz and I still have 3 weeks to go!!! They also found that I have a crazy amount of extra amniotic fluid which is why I have been sooooo uncomfortable and HUGE and have been having hard "real" contractions that become consistent at times for the last month or so. My body thinks i'm about a month ahead of schedule. It's not a problem for the baby but it is a reason to induce labor early. soooooo....
They want to induce me next Friday (26th) at 7am!!!!! When she said that I just about leaped up and down! I was sooooooooooo excited!!!!! That puts me at 38 weeks so they won't have to do an amnio to check lung development! I had that with Knowly and it was creepy and uncomfortable! (they stick a needle in your stomach and draw out amniotic fluid to run tests on it.)
I cannot wait to have this baby!!! It was so funny, in the ultrasound picture she has a really pouty face and it's like she's saying, "I don't have anymore room in here, I want out!" and I'm on the outside with the same face saying, "I'm so over this, get this baby out of me!" lol.
Anyways, the doctor also said some words I have never heard until I was started on pitocin, "you're definitely dilated to a one." I was so thrilled that I wasn't totally closed shut this time! :) It took me over night on meds and several hours after breaking my water with Nate to get to a 3!
One more thing the doctor told me was that due to all of the extra fluid that I have if my water breaks there's going to be a super flood! YIKES!! I never want to leave the house now! I know it's not as likely as people think it is for you water to break but still it makes me scared...
So anyways, I could have a baby any day now but no longer than a week! yay!! We'll keep you posted!
