With our 36 week appointment complete today, it was a bit scary, a tad exciting and a fair amount surreal.
Having reached the landmark age for my ob's practice of 35 years old, I am now subjected to a few additional tests for the remainder of my pregnancy. Today was day 1 of the official tests-I had a Non-Stress Test, which I think is the funniest name as it evokes nothing but stress for me! :) That said, I went to one of my only appointments sans Jenna and/or Maya, and I spent an hour and a half on the monitors as they tried to find our boy's heartbeat. It wasn't that they couldn't sense him moving, but more so that he WOULDN'T STOP!!!!!!! It was impossible to track him, therefore I nearly stood on my head and we got him to show off his strong beats of anywhere from 129-169!~ NO WORRIES there!
However, with all the fluid that has been watched since week 20 something has caused my amazingly candid and fabulous doctor to schedule and induction pending our son doesn't make his own arrival earlier than May 10th! My body has already made progress since 2 weeks ago and the belief is that will continue.
And so now we wait... However, we wait with an official end in sight-May 10th or before, our son will be here! And for that, we CAN'T wait!
