Baby update

Well, as my due date approaches, everyone is probably wondering when I am going to have this little baby. Well, he gave us a little scare on Monday by not moving around like his usual self. I had a non-stress test and ultrasound to make sure everything was okay. Things weren't exactly like they like them to be, so I had another one this morning that looked a lot better. He just wanted to give us some stress! Anyway I saw my regular OB this afternoon and we decided to strip my membranes today and if the little guy hasn't shown up by Thursday, I will be induced. My blood pressure was up and my fluid levels aren't great,so there is no use keeping him in there any longer. So, we will see. I am a little bit nervous about the induction, I haven't had one before. This pregnancy has been a little different since I am seeing a doctor and not a midwife, but I know it has been the best thing, especially since all of these issues have come up. Anyway, I feel less stress today and I am grateful for all of my great friends who have really helped me out with the kids and emotional support. I am so lucky to have so many great people willing to help me. My family is also ready to take over once the baby arrives, I am so grateful. THANK YOU!! I will keep you updated!
