Had another OB appointment today. The doctor reviewed the ultrasound results from Tuesday and decided we should induce this coming Tuesday. I have a bit of polyhydramnios (excess of amniotic fluid), along with the gestational diabetes. I'm 2cm dialated and he says my cervix is "ripe" enough for induction. Add Pearl measuring a bit large and my "advanced maternal age" and he feels she will be better off out here in the real world rather than growing larger in the little private bubble she has been occupying for the last 38 weeks. She'll also be 39 weeks by that point so things will hopefully go smoothly.
So the plan is:
Sunday - Last NST at the hospital along with another biophysical profile. If anything shows up funky with those tests they will induce me that day. If Pearl passes with flying colors we wait until Tuesday.
Monday - OB visit to do cervix check, ask any last minute questions.
Tuesday - INDUCE!
So, Pearl will be here before the end of next week! We got her cloth Kushies diapers in the mail, how adorable can poop receptacles be? And here is a picture of the incredible rocker/glider Clay brought home for us the other day! Lucky Pearl, and lucky Mommy! We'll be in heaven!

Damn, those diapers are soooooo soft and thick and comfy cozy, lucky Pearl. And they are cute too! If I ever need Depends (god forbid) sure hope they make them like these....lol! What a super Daddy to bring home that chair and ottoman (glide, glide...puts me to sleep). Aunt Bobbie's beautiful "blankie" has found it's home. Come on Tuesday!! WOWEEE!
