Week 39 Checkup - Part II

So I got back from my doctor appointment a little bit ago.

Logan did not move around AS much as last time, but still enough to pass the test! :) She said that his heartrate is absolutely perfect and when he moves around he has a perfect acceleration...that's my boy...perfect as can be! :)

I am still only 1-2 cm....but I am 50% effaced instead of just 25%, so that is great...at least an improvement somewhere! He is still head down and still floating along...not down far enough.

So, she gave me 2 options:

1) Schedule an induction for Tuesday (that is her day at the hospital and they usually schedule inductions for 'their' days)

2) Come back in on Monday and be checked again. Then, they will definitely schedule the induction for sometime next week...she said that we will definitely have this baby by next Saturday! (It's nice to have a definite deadline!!!)

I opted for #2. I really want him to come when he's ready, if at all possible. So we will wait for as long as they will allow us (even though we are dying for him to arrive...but John and I are both in agreement on this).

She said to walk, walk, walk. Since it is such a nice weekend (60s & sunny) it will be perfect weather to walk in...and Buddy will be there right by my side, so excited to take so many walks. :)

So hopefully I will go into labor this weekend...if not I will provide an update when I get back from my appt. on Monday!

Say some prayers for us that he comes out this weekend, happy & healthy!!! :)
