So, we went for our 41 week appointment today. Had a great ultrasound, all the baby's fluid levels looked great--- he is happy and healthy! The tech even did a 3D ultrasound as a surprise and we saw how cute our little man is. So, then we go in to meet with the Dr. We tell her that we are open to an induction, but she says, I have to stop you right there and tell you we are going to do a C-section. We discuss the reasons why, risks of trying induction etc. The long and short of it all, is that we are going to try to induce labor, knowing that due to size it could end in a C-section. I'm upset about that, but just trying to trust God and stay calm. Oh, and when the Dr finally reviewed the stats she didn't seem quite as worried b/c she realized that a lot of the weight was from the "off the chart femur length". oh yeah!!
We go in to the hospital at 6p on Thursday and start phase 1 and then the pitocin will start on Friday at 6a. I will be trying all sorts of stuff in between. So, come what may, we should have a baby on Friday. It's not how I was hoping it would happen, but God is in control and we trust that. Thanks for your concern and prayers.
Love,
Marjo and Billy
