I'm being induced

Kevin and I had yet another appt today. We got to the office at 9:30am, and they started my NST test. After it was complete the nurse took the paperwork to the doctor to look over. When she came back, she advised us it looks good, but the doctor wants me to have another NST done at the hospital and to have a profile work up done, just to make sure all is well. I guess the rate was good, but they didn't see enough spikes on the graph. We advised the nurse we still have an appt with the doctor, can we see her first then go get the testing done. She said that was fine. About 10 min later, the doctor came into the NST room and said that she has scheduled our induction for tomorrow at 6pm.

So tomorrow Kevin and I have to be at the hospital at 6pm, where they will instert the strip to soften my cervix. (Cilvidal I believe) then Satruday morning they will start the Pitocen. So peanut will be born sometime this weekend. He/She will either be a May 31st baby or a June 1st baby. I guess only time will tell.

We are SUPER excited, yet I am nervous. That fear of the unknown scares me.

After talking with the doctor, we headed to the hospital to have another NST test done, which came back great. So because it was good, they did not need to perform the profile workup. They did however do a ultrasound to check the fluids around the baby. The number has to be between 5 and 20. Ours came back 12. So all is well.

I will post an update once we get home. I cannot wait.

NST

Well I had another NST today. We had to have it at the hospital because of it being a holiday. What a crazy day this was. Kevin and I got there and went to check in, and the lady at the desk said she didnt see me scheduled. I explained to her that my doc office made the appt on Thursday while I was on the phone with them. She looked in the computer and said my appt was for the 24th. (Now I am getting frustrated) I explained to her that the 24th was my due date. As she read a lil further she said the computer showed I was admitted and had a bed. I just looked at her and said "Well obviously I was not admitted, cause here I am standing here, and baby is still inside me" She called up to the NST room, and explained the situation. And they advised her, to go ahead and send me up anyway. (Thank God, cause I told Kevin I was NOT leaving until they did the test) Finally after 45 min, they sent me upstairs to have the test. All went well. The bed was REALLY comfy, and it seemed to go by fast. The doc came in and looked at peanuts Heart Rate, and said all is well, and I could go. So thats done. Now we wait until peanut decides to be born, or they induce. I will keep everyone posted.

Another day...Another Appointment

Kevin and I had another appt today. All is well. We first had our NST, and they said it was just fine. That test is getting harder to do, since the recliner is SO comfy. I almost fell asleep in the chair. Kevin had to keep me awake~lol. Our next NST is Monday, and we have to have it at the hospital since its Memorial day, and the office is closed.

Then we got into an exam room, and I was weighed. Guess What???? I lost a pound. (Don't ask how....I have not a clue, I eat ALL the time~lol) Kevin and I waited about 10 min before Dr. Johnson came in. She asked how we were doing, and I told her "I am Miserable" She said its understandable. I did tell her that since yesterday Peanut hasn't really been moving too much. She told me to start counting baby kicks if I feel that peanut is not doing much. ((Lay in bed on your left side, and count baby kicks...needs to be 10 movements in 2 hours)) She then examined me. What do ya know....NO PROGRESS!!!!! (Stubborn Baby) She said that anything can happen, but if there is still no baby by the next appt (Thursday) Then we will talk about induction. She does not want me to carry after 41 weeks. I would LOVE if Peanut would come this weekend, but I just don't think its going to happen. But its good to know that for sure Peanut will join this world by next weekend. I can't wait. We are SO anxious to meet him or her. Kevin is off for a week right now, so we are planning many walks everyday. Hope it helps!!!

NST

We had another NST today. It went well. They said it all looks good. My next appt is Thursday. I hope there is some progress between now and then. I guess we will see. Sorry this is so short, I am getting pretty tired, so I think I am going to go lay down.

Another Appointment

We had another appt today. Our NST went well. Peanut got "Tazed" again. It feels so wierd, but it really wakes baby up. Then we got to see the doctor. She said there is No Progress yet. Figures!!!! I am really starting to believe peanut doesnt want to come out.~lol She said I need to have some contractions to get things going. Hopefully things will progress. I cannot wait to meet our LO.

Doctor Appointment

Well I had another weekly doc appt. We got to the office early, but was seen right away. She checked my weight. (Yup still the same) and then checked me BP. She said it was 144/78. A lil high, but its always been normal in the past. Then I went to get the lovely urine sample. After I got back to the room, the doc came in and checked the sample. He didnt say but I think I had sugar in my urine. (normally the stick stays yellow, but it was green). Then right before he was about to check the heartbeat, he got a page that he had to go to the hospital for a delivery. Luckly he finished me up before he left. So he checked the heartbeat and it was good at 159bpm. Then he advised us that he wants to check me for pre-eclampsea. So I had to get some blood work done, and do a 24hr urine test. He also decided to take me off work. Next week I also have to start the non stress test twice a week. He did check me and said I have still made no progress. He also stated that if need be they could induce my labor, since peanut is now full term. I did not get to ask him a lot of questions, or to find out more about pre-eclampsea since he had to rush off. But I am sure everything will be fine. He did not seem concerned, so I wont be either. They know what they are doing and I trust them 100%. So peanut can come at anytime. So now the countdown is really on.

Hiccups

I was at Kevin's Softball game, and while he was practicing, I noticed Peanut had the hiccups. Now I always thought it was him or her kicking. But when I really paid attention to it, it was in a rhythm pattern. I thought it was the funniest thing ever. It lastest a good 10 minutes.
