Dr.'s Appointment - 38 Weeks 5 days

This morning we had our ultrasound, and everything looks really good. We were able to see her breathing and the heartbeat. The technician said that the placenta looked good and the level of amniotic fluid was good too. We were hoping for some good pictures of her, but b/c she is so low down and how she was turned we couldn't really get any profiles. It's a tight squeeze in there! She took Lily's measurements and they come out to about 6 lbs 1 oz, the margin of error for this is about 15% so she could be a pound off either way...although we are more inclined to think she may be more torwards the 7lb range, but we are very pleased with this. Lily slept through the entire ultrasound so she wasn't moving around any. The Dr. decided to do a Non Stress Test to moniter the babies movements and heartrate for about 20 minutes. During this time she did move around and everything looked and sounded good. Also during this time the test showed that I was having braxton hicks contractions, so that was exciting!

My cervix is still high but Dr. Mazzoli was able tell that I haven't dialated any. My blood pressure was 100/60 and I have gained one pound since last week. My stomach measured 37-38cm. I have another appt this Friday for another Non Stress Test and then an appt on Monday with the Dr. As of right now it sounds like I will be scheduled for an induction next Thurday, August 28th, unless I go into labor before then. We will know more definitely on Monday. It is so exciting to think we could be having her in just a little over a week!!! We can't wait to meet her!
