Everything is still good and on track. Weigh in, measurements, heartbeat and we are done. Though today, I did not let the Dr. out that easy. I am still probing about when induction will occur. Originally we had agreed that 39 weeks was good. Not too early for her, but not too late for me. However, the Dr. is going out of town on the day that we would schedule the induction. So, she says, “We could do it when I return, which would put you at 39 weeks and 2 days.” Most people would have probably been fine with that. But I did not like that . The closer I get to 40 weeks, the closer I get to a problem… in my mind anyway. Noah’s doctors said they believe his “event” occured a week to two weeks before delivery. Maybe that is true, maybe it is not, no one really knows. The only thing I know, is that I do not want to look back at Megan’s delivery wishing that I had induced earlier. So if I want to deliver before she goes out of town, it would be 38 weeks + and I will have to have an amnio to test lung maturity. There are some small risks to this procedure, but I think worth it for me. And if anything were to happen during the amnio, I would be in the hospital and Megan could be delivered. So for now, I am hoping for Sept 21.

On a lighter note, I got to feel Megan’s head today. Still can… she is right there. I asked Dr. if she was head down. After some searching on my belly she could not tell. But after I stood up, she pushed on my belly and said, “There is her head, she is still breech.” What? How can you just push and know that is her head? So I asked, “How do you know?” Her response. “I’m a professional.” Ha.

After the visit, we walked over to Hermann and saw the L&D and talked to someone for a bit about procedures, parking, hours, etc. I feel very comfortable about delivering there, and am looking forward to the process again.
