Well I usually write on Mondays after I take my picture but I wanted to go ahead and post an update on my appointment from today.
Charlotte Spurrier was not cooperative at all during her ultrasound this morning with her weekly test that she needs to pass. I was getting worried and the ultrasound tech was doing all she could to get her to move and she was not having it. I asked what would happen if she did not pass the test because I had never had that happen before and she said that I would be sent to the hospital for observation and monitoring. Great. Well - in the very last seconds of the appointment, little girl decided she did not want to spend the day at the hospital and did what she was supposed to do and we passed. Her heart rate was 140s-160s, her estimated weight is now 7 pounds 8 ounces, the cord flow was good, and she is looking quite healthy. My BP was still good and normal, I did not get a belly measurement this week but Doc checked my cervix and I am 2-3 cm dilated and 80% effaced. She said Charlotte's head is very low and that she could have broken my water today. Glad she didn't : ) Doc decided that I do NOT have to go to the hospital on Monday the 1st and that I now will be going in Tuesday the 2nd at 5am to get the Pitocin started. She said that I am dilated enough on my own that I do not need the Cervadil to soften my cervix and that I could stay home and sleep in my bed Monday night. She said that everything is looking great, I am making great progress and that she is looking forward to seeing me on Tuesday! WOW. I just cannot believe that we are here. Still isn't sinking in for me yet and I don't think it will until I am in the hospital.
Doc gave me permission to go to the game tomorrow. I will be sitting inside and out of the heat and I told her I would not be jumping around. She said that I will know if things are getting started and I will have enough time to get to the hospital if I need to and to plan on pushing at least an hour (typical for first babies). Scotty is staying at the team hotel tonight and he had me enlist my friend Liz to come to the house and stay with me in case anything happens tonight.
I wanted to go ahead and share this info and our progress. I hope to post again before I go in the hospital with a week 38 picture and I hope to post one last picture of my week 39 belly on Tuesday from the hospital before Baby gets here then I will be posting a ton of pictures of this sweet baby who will no longer be in my belly!
Charlotte Mae Spurrier will be here within the week! Get ready people!
