It's D Day! We wanted to take another picture since today is baby's official due date. Unfortunately, no action has happened. We had an appointment this morning and Dr. Mark was there to do the exam. We thought he'd be on vacation but actually wasn't leaving until this afternoon-for Paris! The news was pretty much the same, no dialating yet, but my blood pressure was good-124/80 and baby's heartrate was 148. The plan is that if I don't go into labor by Tuesday I will go in for another appointment, then I will be scheduled a non-stress test for baby. This is to monitor the baby's heartrate and stuff, and we will also have to do a biophysical profile, an ultrasound to watch baby's movements, muscle contractions and amniotic fluid. If there is anything of concern we will have to go to the hospital and probably be induced, but if baby looks fine and healthy we will just have to wait until I go into labor or Dr. Mark gets back from vacation on the 20th. So, we're just waiting to see what happens. Matt and I have been relaxing, going to the pool and gym and staying out of the heat. I'm still feeling good, I just get tired and sore sometimes and have to rest, but nothing I can complain too much about. I know everyone's getting anxious and so are we!! We'll keep you posted with all the exciting details! Love, Matt & AnnThursday, July 9, 2009

How is it that you look more beautiful/happier as each month/week goes by? :) Every time the phone rings, I wonder if it's "the call". I'm so happy that you are having such a great pregnancy with no complications and very few complaints! Love you lots! :) I was also wondering if you've gotten any stretch marks?
ReplyDeleteThanks mom, but I think you might be biased. :-) Hopefully you'll get the call soon! And yes, as of last week I officially have 3 stretch marks that I can see right now. I know sometimes more show up afterwards too.. Boo!
ReplyDeleteDon't worry about the stretch marks, looks like you are doing pretty well at this point, plus they fade! So I think about you and baby about 10 times a day now:), wondering how you are going to get the news out to the rest of us folks(I don't expect to be on the "first call"list) but the anticipation is killing me!! Oh, and Melissa is dying to know too, so I told her she will be my first call once I know the news:)! You are in many peoples thought and prayers! Love you!
