Today John and I decided to go into the Dr's office for some baby movement monitoring - called a Non-Stress Test. Over the weekend Dominic seemed to have slowed down in this area so we thought just to be on the safe side we'd call in... well, wallah, we ended up going in of course.
We had an appointment scheduled for tomorrow so they just mushed it all into one and we got it all covered today.
Results from todays appointment:
- Blood pressure is looking good
- Dominic's monitoring looked really good (heart rate and contractions for me)
- I'm dilated to 3cm now
- Effaced 80% (this means my cervix has thinned. Needs to be 100% for birth)
We had decided to make the appointment before we were checked for dilation, etc. So now we may not even make it to the end of this week. We would like things to happen naturally of course, but for inducing they are just going to start with popping his water bubble.
If we do actually make it to the appointment, it will be next Tuesday, April 29th - the day before my little brother Daniel's 19th Birthday. And hey, if we have an insanely long labor he could even be born ON Daniel's B-day. :)

(edit: THE 29th IS THE DAY OF DANIEL'S BDAY!! DUH! I knew this! I am such a dorkus!!!)

Well actually Daniel's Birthday IS Tuesday April 29th. That's the day we're rooting for! But I don't think you'll make it.
Wow, this time next week you'll either HAVE your baby, or be about to have him...crazy exciting!!! :D :D :D
We are so excited for you! Any day now!
I can't wait for Dominic to arrive! Alexander is getting impatient...and he didn't come with a mute button, so you better watch out!
Love, Robyn
