Our LAST appointment!! Wow it seems like I have been pregnant f o r e v e r but everything will be happening so soon! This appointment was fun because we were able to monitor the baby's heartbeat for 20 minutes and my uterus to see if I was having any contractions. I had a small contraction which spiked Minka into a crazy rampage banging on everything she could find. It was fun to feel her move a lot and watch her strong heartbeat.
Jareth also got me laughing so hard the monitor was reading crazy HUGE contractions and then I couldn't stop! I tried to hold it back which only escalated the laughing into nearly peeing my pants and an embarrassing confession when the doctor came in. We had to admit we were playing with the equipment :)
Our doctor checked for progress again and was very happy to tell us things are looking up! Softening has begun and we are at 1 cm. She touched the baby's head! We have planned an induction at 5:30 pm Sunday to start cervidil and then pitocin to encourage contractions Monday morning....unless she decides to greet us before then!
Jareth's parents are almost here and we are excited for their arrival! It will be fun to see familiar faces and have family around for some time.
More to come....
