Maddie wiggled the whole way to the doctor's office, so she was finally sleepy by the time our appointment began...
Ok, y'all, I am getting a bit concerned. Madelyn looks great, everything is going well...except that she is HUGE! Today, her head and belly measured 37 to 38 weeks! They estimated her to be 6lbs 12oz and Dr. R suggested (while laughing) that we wait ten more days and then start 'natural induction'. He also recommended that I do lots of pelvic floor exercises (for the men: never mind what that means). Her amniotic levels were on the high side of normal, but Dr. R said that's probably just because she's so dang large. My check up with Dr. B is next Friday...I didn't want to even think about being induced, but I definitely don't want to wait and possibly need a section! I keep thinking of shoulder dystocia and those poor mommies that labor and push - only to have an emergency Cesarean and the baby has a cone head a mile long! Even more ridiculous, I'm thanking God that I bought more 0-3 month sizes than the newborn size clothes. I am so giddy! To think that she'll be here soon, maybe before Christmas. Dr. R even pointed out that she's got a lot of hair. I think that there just might be something to that old heartburn myth. Hmmmmm.What a wonderful day...
XOXO
