33w5d-INDUCTION DATE!!!

Courtney had her weekly OB appointment and he was very pleased with her progress.  Her blood pressure was 100/50 and she gained one more pound.  Total pregnancy weight to date is 25 lbs.  Her belly continues to measure in line with Nevaeh's ultrasounds (one week ahead) and the cervix is long and closed!

The 2D ultrasound they did last week showed Nevaeh one week ahead at that time, she weighed 4lbs. 13 oz and this last elective 3D ultrasound (about one week later) showed Nevaeh weighing in at a whopping 5lbs. 8oz.  Courtney was telling the OB that we all had a chance to guess Nevaeh's weight at the 3D ultrasound....we guessed around 5lbs and were shocked when she said 5lbs 8oz.....so was the OB!

The OB feels the baby is thriving and decided to move the induction up by one week! He is concerned that the baby may get toooooo big for Courntey's 4'10" frame, which could throw her into labor sooner.....He wants to be able to control the labor by induction since she is on blood thinners.

Her last blood thinner shot and progesterone pill will be the night of 3/7/10 (Sunday).   Sometime in the early morning hours if not the midnight before on 3/9/10, the induction will start!.......Then it is up to Nevaeh to make her appearance!  Hopefully Courtney can birth this baby versus a C-Section!    This means, Neveah will be born at 37 weeks instead of 38 weeks!  We are guessing she will weigh close to 7lbs!  I am sitting here having a hot flash as I write this......my blood is rushing.....ONLY 3 WEEKS AWAY!  OMG!!!

Oh yea....one more thing....March 9th was G. Grandpa Dason's birthday (He passed away when Courntey was about 8 weeks pregnant).....You know that saying "When a loved one passes a new one is born?"  The circle of life!? How fitting!!......... and March 10th is G. Grandma Richards' birthday!  How cool would it be to have a great grandchild born on your birthday!?  Time will tell!
