37.5 Week Baby Appt

152 pounds this week. At least it seems to be slowing down a bit! I think it's because I can only fit so much in my stomach these days without feeling like I'm going to explode! Baby Oli's heartbeat measured at 132 BPM. I haven't seen ANY signs of labor yet, unfortunately and the doc felt around for his head - which is in the down position, but still up pretty high! I asked her how long we wait for induction if he just doesn't ever want to come out and she said that we could start at 40 weeks if I want, or at 41 weeks, they start pressuring you to do it. I think if November 8th comes and goes, I want to try to get him to come out on 11/10 or 11/11. Those seem like good dates for a birthday :) Really hoping he wants to come out sooner than that though!

Well hopefully by 41 weeks he'll come on his own like Lucy did! We had her induction schedule for a week past due (so 41 weeks) and I went into labor instead and she was here the next day. Maybe it was just because she was my second, but they induced early with Nola (complications) and that labor was so much easier and faster! So in case you do have induce, don't believe all the horror stories about it being so terrible, I thought it was a cake walk!

A lot can happen in 2 1/2 weeks though, so maybe you won't even have to make a decision about induction at all!

2 1/2 weeks! so crazy, do you feel like you can look back yet and it seems like it flew past way too fast, or are you still in the stage where everything seems to be taking forever? I look at Logan and think about my pregnancy with him and I feel like it's all going too quickly. With Jackson, I felt like the whole pregnancy thing too forever! isn't it funy how that all works?! As far as being induced, I was also scheduled for mine on October 1st, but J came all on his own. I'm crossing my fingers that it all happens naturally, although super uncozy, I wouldn't have wanted to mess the entire experience, contractions and all. I'm all about that epidural though :)
