He will be here Tuesday!!

I had another dr's appointment yesterday morning at 830am. One good thing about going that early is that they dont make you wait very long! haha

so i went back to my room, and they checked my weight (only gained half a lb since last week) and my blood pressure. it was back up to 168/93. they laid me back and hooked up the Non Stress Test monitors to me. Well, I had just eaten breakfast so Parker was ALL over the place!! and they couldnt get a steady heart rate...all they could hear was what sounded like him brushing up against the monitor. the dr came in and said, "well at least you know your blood pressure isnt effecting his movement at all!! my gosh your going to have your hands full with this one! (oooh god lol)

so instead of having me lay there forever, she sent me over for another ultrasound (thats always fun)...and they did a biophysical profile on him. he was very very very active, but perfect. blood flow through his ambilical cord and to his brain is great...all of his numbers are great...his head is still measuring big, but at this point, so is the rest of his body they said. head, arms, legs, stomach...everything!! they estimated him to be right at 8lbs already!! WHAAAAATTTT i was 36weeks5 days!!! still 3 weeks and 2 days away from his due date!!!

so they took me back to an exam room and they checked me...still 2cm dialated and 50%effaced...so she said bc of my bp and his enormous size, they are going to induce me Tuesday morning at 6am!!! I have to go in on Monday night at 6 to get some medication called cervidil to helf my cervix efface more, then they will start pitocin at 6am tuesday...hopefully we will have him by tuesday night (god i hope so lol) but it may be into wednesday before he decides to come since he is a first baby and hes large AND im not in labor on my own...but i have everyones numbers so i will make sure everyone is updated!!

By this time next week steven and i will be home (if everything goes well) with baby parker!!!
