I had my weekly appointment today and all went well. The big surprise was that my doctor would like to induce next week. I guess I was too surprised to really ask a lot of questions, but she said she thinks it will be time then. I'll have my regular appointment on Monday afternoon and then we'll schedule, so she told me to be thinking which date. I think Daron and I are leaning toward Thursday or Friday (the 9th or 10th). That way it will be right before the weekend making it easier for my parents to come up and meet their new granddaughter (my mom still hasn't retired). Daron's mom is here in town, so she'll be nice and close when the baby arrives. Plus it'll give me the most time to get things handed off to my backup at work.
Other updates - I had the Group B Strep test last week and it was negative, so that is good. I'm happy to not have to take IV antibiotics during delivery. My blood pressure and the baby's heartbeat were both very much the same as usual. I did officially hit the 40 lbs gained mark, but I guess I'll be on the downhill side of the weight deal next week! Last week I was 1cm dilated and starting to efface, but she didn't check that this week. She will next Monday, though.
The contractions have continued to pick up in frequency and some are a little painful at times, so I'm actually kind of hoping we'll beat the doctor to the punch!
Finally, I've become quite the attraction in Adan's classroom. When I walk in I am often mobbed by kids wondering why my stomach is so big and wanting to touch it. Last week, I literally had four kids with their hands on my stomach all asking me questions at the same time, plus several more standing around them. Adan thought maybe he should show off my stomach, so he kept trying to lift my shirt for all to see. So, here I am trying to answer kids questions, hold my shirt down and figure out a way out of there all at the same time. The teacher did finally come to my rescue and redirect kids away from me. I swear, I barely made it out of there alive!
