Our Baby Girl is Full Term

Today our baby girl is considered full term!  This means that her lungs are fully developed and she can be born any time now.  Great news!!!! 

My non-stress test on Friday and ob appointment over at U of M went okay.  Our baby girl was responsive in her typical 20 minutes, which is great.  We were getting ready to get up and head off to my ob appointment and the nurse started up the ultrasound machine because U of M measures the level of amniotic fluid around the baby.  The levels were all really good. 

After the non-stress test, we headed over to the women’s clinic for my ob appointment.  We scheduled an induction date!  As predicted, it is March 19th.  But this isn’t really set in stone.  The ob said that when they call me on the evening of the 18th to tell me when to come in, we can reschedule if I am not having any signs of labor and my body doesn’t appear to be ready.  So maybe March 19th is the go date and maybe it isn’t.  Of course, our baby girl could always decide she wants to make an appearance before then!  We shall see.

We got some more questions answered and the only other thing of note was that my blood pressure was a bit elevated (even measured at the end of the appointment).   They sent me to get blood work to make sure it isn’t preeclampsia, which so far it is not.  It was a stressful week and this weekend we were able to relax.  So hopefully my blood pressure can come back down a bit. 

Stay tuned as the big day approaches!!
