We've made it this far?!! :( It's kind of crazy to think that 6 weeks ago, the doctors and nurses were working to keep her in, and now she won't come out! So, the 4 of us made our way to Boulder once again to see the "baby doctor." BP was same as usual 117/79 and I weighed in at 152 lbs.
I saw Dr. Kerry (don't remember her last name - she's the newest doctor in the practice), and she set us up to come in next Monday, November 8th (aka "my due date), to have my waters broken. I told her that I wasn't feeling as much movement as I have in the past, so after my appointment, she wanted to get me hooked up on the monitor for an NST. Next we got to hear the heartbeat and then Casey and the girls left the room so I could be checked. I am 4 cm dilated - yay! An extra cm this week after 6 weeks of 3 cm readings was really exciting for me! She also stripped my membranes, which hurt a lot compared to last week when Dr. Shimoda stripped them. Now we wait to see if anything happens!
During the NST, the girls watched Cinderella, and I sat in the chair on the monitor for 20 minutes. And, as usual, our little "Tina" was absolutely perfect in every way! She looked good on the monitor the whole time, which is her routine.
So, either we will have a baby this week, or if all else fails, we will have a new baby girl on November 8!
