Hi All:
Just got back from my 2nd bi-weekly appt with the doctor. With Chris home, I dragged (literally) him to the appt to meet Dr Ziania and to see what I go through twice a week. I am usually in and out of there in 30 min..even after the 20minutes on the stress machine to watch the babies heartbeat and my contractions BUT today...we were on the machine for over 40 minutes. Sorry Chris. It was fun to watch her HRATE go way up and for Chris to be there for it, it was quite a long time.
Then we headed into the room for a quick amnio fluid measuring ultrasound. Chris got to meet the doctor finally and she was great with us on the machine actually seeing the head, the butt, her 4 chambers of her heart and she was even breathing in and out with her diaphram...which the doc said is rare to actually catch a baby breathing which is a sign that the baby has no abnormalities. WAHOO!!! It almost made me cry hearing those words!! Yeah for Baby C!
She also checked for dialation and NOTHING. She used the phrase "YOUR CERVIX IS CLOSED FOR DELIVERY". HA
Well the big news is...we are going to take her early. I really want to make sure that I get a women OBGYN and I would love to have Dr Ziania and with her busy schedule schedule ONCALL for deliveries she was sure she would be working the first week of Dec so we should be talking later this week on the exact day. Dec 1st or 2nd were the dates thrown out there but depends on her schedule. I am 39 weeks on Nov 30th and that is Chris's first day to check in at Camp Pendleton so that will give him a day in and then wham.....he will be a father!!!
With my doctors group, they dont let anyone over 40 go 40 and with Baby C struggling to hit her "kick counts" and keep active during the stress test, she was open for a an early delivery. She noted I would have to be admited the night before and then they would do some cervix thining or something like that with hope the the morning, I would be starting to dialate for her to deliver!! YA!!!!
Well with that said, we need to get hoping on picking the name, getting a few more diapers and some formula in the house, bottles washed and more things ready sooner than later. With Chris home, I am sure that all be done tomorrow. Love that he loves to get things done. My Mr Handyman/Do'er!!!
So..more soon. My next appt and final appt will be Nov 22nd as then we have Thanksgiving break week and then walah...delivery on the 1st or 2nd. I will keep you all updated as we hear more but ya....Baby C is almost here.
Love to all,
Tracey
