An end is in sight!

[Grinning Geckos]

Oh, thank God!!! I spent between 4pm and 6:30pm seeing different Drs today. They did a non-stress test which she did excellent on, and a bio-physical profile where she scored an 8 out of 8. In other words, Cadence is doing really well in there. I still haven't progressed at all!

During the bio-physical profile they did an ultrasound. We got to watch her open and close her hand, blink her eyes (freaky), and make suckling motions with her mouth. We could also see her trying to breath. She's got nice chubby cheeks, and a head full of hair! I was really surprised that you could see the hair, but it was there like a fuzzy halo around her head!

After all of that, I finally have a date in sight. Sometime on Wednesday I'll be going in for an induction. I'll be 40 week 6 days by that time. It could be early morning or sometime in the afternoon, depending on how busy the hospital is. Wish me lots of luck and a speedy delivery!

Congrats! I was induced too. I went in around 7 ish. I think they had the IV in me by 7:30, and I had her at 3:55. So it could be quick. Good Luck!

Can't wait to see the pics of baby!!! Good luck, we will all be thinking of you.

Hooray, Shanti! I'm glad to hear Cadence is doing well! I can't wait to see her! You do realize we expect you to bring your computer to the hospital so we don't have to wait - right?

lol

The best I can do is have Jeremy make a post when she arrives - pics will have to wait til we get home.

Amazing! You'll be in our thoughts and prayers here in my household. Best of luck to you.

 

[Jeremy Letkey]

I would be honored to be able to spread the word!! I am sending positive vibes out to you guys. I am certain all will go well. You might even go into labor before then.

Best wishes and lots of love.

Congrats Shanti.

Who wants to take a bet that Shanti goes into labor sometime Tuesday night?

 

[Grinning Geckos]

LOL, it's all good to me! One way or another she's coming out of there!

 

[Perefalcon]

We should start a pool, of which day she goes into labor!

Congrats Shanti! Can't wait to see her!

 

[GeckoMandi]

Congrats and Good Luck!

I know you are ready to pop her out! I would be!

 

[Grinning Geckos]

Holy crap guys...I woke up this morning and I am TERRIFIED! The thought that I'll be going to the hospital in 24 hours or so is enough to give me the shakes. I'm not worried about labor - they've got good drugs for that. I just want to know who the heck thought it would be a good idea for US to be parents!

 

[marula]
