40 weeks

Today was a big appointment since lil mis C has not graced us with her pressence yet. Luckily it is raining today so Mr. C was able to go with me. We started with just the regular ob appointment, I weighed in at 152-no change from last Friday, blood pressure was 132/72, fetal heart rate was 130. Still only dialted to 1cm, but now about 50% effaced. Next it was on to have an ultrasound done to check my fluid levels, my doc came and did it and the levels were all okay, i think around 8.7 or something--she said anything above 5 is okay. Then we headed over to another office to have a non-stress test done. The placed what looked like head phones on my belly and kept them in place with an ace bandage that went around my belly. One headpone monitored her heart rate and the other was monitoring for contractions, this lasted for about a half an hour. Mr. C and I thought this was all we had to do, but then they said they were doing an ultrasound, so we got another one of those. The one earlier in my doc's office was very quick, she just measured the pockets of amiontic fluid and called it good. This one they took measurements again of various organs and just checked her out to make sure she is looking good and that we didn't need to make plans to get her out sooner. She was covering her face with one arm again though, so no good face pictures. I say she is hiding from the camera like her dad. They are estimating that she is a little over 7 lbs, has hair and is healthy. We are planning on being induced Sunday evening 11/28/10 at 8:00PM if she doesn't arrive on her own before than!!!
