No Control

I know when you have kids you can't plan every moment and you end up being on their schedule more then your own, but I had no idea it would start before they were even born!

We had our doctor's visit this morning and after doing an ultrasound at 38 weeks, we were able to see little peanut is already 7 lbs and 12 ounces, they think she is around 19 inches long.  We waited for the doctor to come in and found out the amniotic fluid levels were on the low side, not critical but not a great sign, and the cord seems to be wrapped around her neck.  She said based on her size and the danger of the fluid going too low she wanted to induce me this Thursday....

WHAT??????

This Thursday??  I know I said several times to several different people, "Oh I hope she comes early, blah blah blah."  But this was NOT what I had in mind.  I started to freak out a little bit.  Ok maybe more than a little, it didn't help that Hubbs eyes were bugging out of his head, and he said, "This Thursday??" I think we had both mentally prepared it would probably be next week.   Not to mention the fact I was worried about little peanut, and scared she might not be ok.

We are waiting to hear back from the doctor to confirm we will be getting induced.  Its not what I wanted, but I want peanut to be safe and healthy and I don't want to put her at risk.  I am dilated to a 2 so hopefully my body will react well to me being induced.  I am nervous, scared, and excited all at the same time.  I realize I have had 9 months to prepare for this, but there is such a mix of emotions.   So hard to explain, I just hope and pray they will be able to get the cord off of her neck, or we could be in for a c section.

Out of my control I know.  So crazy to think I can be meeting my little peanut on Thursday, where or where did the time go?

On a side note the son has been such a great kid.  This has been by far the easiest summer adjustment we have had.  He is really enjoying his time with his Daddy.  It is precious to watch.  He is liking his school and has been really good.  He is so much fun to be around at 4 years old, its fun to watch him play and see what all he knows.  He is getting excited about his little Sister and knows she could be coming in 2 days.  I am looking forward to us getting to spend a month together as a family before he has to go back to his mom's house.

Things are going good, and hopefully they will continue to go good on Thursday.

I will keep you posted!!!
