Baby Update

We've had a very busy week with a NST on tuesday, ultrasound wednesday & O.B appointment today. It was amazing to see how much bigger the baby was on the ultrasound. The baby is so squished in there that it is hard to identify the body parts. The ultrasound confirmed that the head is down & the baby is in the anterior position which is the best position for birth. We had a great ultrasound technician, she actually told us before we left "don't worry the baby is fine". It was so nice to hear that! usually they don't tell you anything.

At my O.B appointment today we were told that the baby is healthy at approximately 6.5 lbs. It was explained that if you took 100 women all with the same due date that 65% of the women would have a bigger baby. The placenta, size of baby, & amount of fluid are all within "normal" range. Next week I will have another NST, & O.B appointment on friday. I am hoping that they will do an internal exam to see if things are progressing.

In the meantime I am going to try to get things moving along with some natural ways to induce labour. I'm thinking more along the lines of walking, cleaning & eating lots of pineapple :)

Oh & my hospital bag is finally packed! all that is left to do is pack a few things for Gavin & finish washing some baby clothes.
