I feel terrible about the lack of posting. I haven't updated since our last ultrasound at 22 weeks. Well we are approaching our due date this weekend and baby S has not arrived yet. I will be 40 weeks if we make it to Sunday, July 26, 2009. I asked my doctor at my last appointment on Monday what our options were. Baby S is perfectly fine hanging out in my womb, but he can't stay there forever. He will be evicted soon.
My doctor told me that if he hasn't arrived by Sunday for me just to get up and go to morning church services as I normally would and then call the hospital to see if there were any available rooms in L & D. If there was an open room for me to head in and we would start the induction. We will be given a full 24 hours to see how to induction progresses. If things do not go well, meaning if I do not progress well or Baby S gets distressed, we will have to end up as a C-section birth.
I hope this is not the case. I hope that we go into labor before Sunday. I would like for him to pick the day he decides to get here and not the medical staff. Now granted I love my ob/gyn but I feel like there is a natural order to things without meddling too much. My husband and I are very excited about bringing him home. I look forward to the next few weeks I will be home with them both.
I shall hope to post an update soon after his birth as well as a picture of the adorable little boy I saw on the ultrasound screen two weeks ago.
On the knitting front, I haven't knit a whole lot since becoming pregnant. I have received some knitted baby gifts though which I will post about soon. Thanks to the wonderful ladies of the Wandering Georgia Sheep group on Ravelry.
