Ultrasound

A lot has happened since I last updated and I apologize for not updating sooner! I had my u/s to determine Kelsie's weight when I was about 37 1/2 weeks. She was estimated to weigh in at about 6 lbs 2 oz. They also checked her movement, heart, fluid levels and her practice breathing. No matter what we did she would not move her lungs in and out. I guess that indicates whether or not she's preparing for birth. So he hooked me up to a non stress test monitor to try to get her to wake up a bit and do what she was supposed to. After about 20 minutes on the machine he took me back to the u/s room and she was still not doing it! So we stopped and then I went in to go over the results with him. He was happy with most of the results. She was a little behind on weight but nothing too drastic, she was moving a little and her heart looked good but he was still just concerned about how my body was functioning for her. He said we would do a repeat test on that Friday and if results were ok he wanted to induce on Sunday April 26th and if results weren't good I would be sent straight to the hospital after the appt. I was worried but not panicked, I was just glad he was finally starting to take concern about my size. It was something I was getting worried about and Kelsie wasn't moving as much and I just felt like my body was done. He said he feels like she was doing ok, but that we didn't have much time to gamble with on when my body would stop working for her. My clock was up according to him. Lori had arrived at this point and she was glad to hear that she would for sure make it for the delivery but we were all kind of nervous about Friday's results. Braden couldn't make it to my u/s on Friday so Aunt Lori was there for moral support. Kelsie did much better on her practice breathing and passed all the other tests so the ultrasound tech was nice and turned on the 3d screen. We got to see a glimpse of her cute little face! It was so neat! After the sonogram Dr. Swainston said that we would still proceed with the induction for Sunday and they scheduled it right then and there! That's when I started to get really nervous. It was nice having a day to plan on but it almost brought on more anxiety. I had spent the entire pregnancy not knowing how this would all happen and now we had a plan. It was a weird exciting feeling. That day we went shopping for all of my last minute essentials. Lori and I had so much fun preparing! She has wanted to be part of everything and I'm so grateful to have such a great sister and so much support. Now all we had left to do was wait until Sunday
