Our Doctor's Visit
Well, we made it through the weekend without a baby and went to our doctor's appointment this morning. My blood pressure and weight were fine BUT I still have not dilated any. Since we're past due, they did a Bio Physical Profile Test to insure everything was ok with the baby. This is basically a non-stress test which consisted of an ultrasound that measures four categories: the baby's breathing, her movement, her muscle tone, and the amniotic fluid level. Our results were fine with a perfect score of 8/8. What a relief to actually get to see her in there moving. And yes, we did get to confirm she's a girl. We saw her face and could even see her little lips moving !!! She's still head down and the doctor would like to give her a week more to come naturally. But if she doesn't, he scheduled an appointment at 6 am on Monday, November 24, to induce labor. Hopefully she'll be here this weekend or sooner! We're super excited and can't wait to meet her!

I do hope you go into labor naturally, and don't have to wait another week to be induced. I was a pro at non-stress tests...had them every week at the end due to BP. Trust me, your sweet girl is worth the wait. There is nothing like a sweet baby girl. Hugs to you!
Tried to post before, just wanted you to know we're waiting anxiously with you! Hope all goes wonderfully and that you know her name as soon as you see her! Love, The Hutchersons
