We have a date!

I had another doctors appointment yesterday. I am at 38 weeks. I went in thinking that I really hadn't done much of anything and that I would walk away disappointed. I wasn't. Not. at. all. She checked me and I was at a 2 pretty much 3 cm. dilation, and his head has dropped and she could feel it. The last two times I have gone she had me do an ultrasound to see if he was in position because he was so far up she couldn't tell if what she was feeling was his bum or his head. Now he is down and ready.
Wait, it gets better! We talked about inducing. I didn't really want to be induced this time around. I was induced with Kate and that was a very long, long day. I just didn't want to do it again. I went in the day after my due date, but I think that my doctors dates were off by a week. Long story of why I think that. So I think that my body was not ready to have that baby. I was hardly even dilated. Uh...now that I have rambled on let's get back to the point. We talked about inducing. She told me what days were good for her and I picked which one I liked. This all works out nicely. All of our family lives in Utah so it is kind of nice to have things planned out. That way they can make plans for coming. So...ready for this...baby boy will be joining us on:
March 16, 2011
Hopefully. I don't have my time from the hospital yet, so it depends on when I go in. Maybe he will come on the 17th and then we will have a St. Patties day baby. So let the count down begin.
Only 7 days left!!!

I know what you mean about not wanting to be induced. I didn't really want to with Zach but since he was diagnosed with IUGR I had to be. I swear he wasnt ready to come since I was in labor for 31 hours. It was awful!
I can't believe you are already at the end! So exciting and can't wait to see pictures!!!

Also...I might be in Vegas for a bit in April. It would be fun to come by and say hi!!

my happy thought is YAHOOO!!!!!! March 16th is the best day EVER and only a week away!! So exciting, and the inducing if that baby is ready to come and you have already started will be much easier, I was induced with both and I was nothing with Claire and it was hard, and Landon was ready and started already and it was easy!! Good luck hoping for the 16th!!

It sounds like to me that he could come anytime on his own, forget what ever you and the doctor have planned! The 17th is also Mikes little boy Ryans BD and also Brad's boy Kylers BD. WOW! Umm it sounds like to me the baby boy will be making a surprise entrance on the day he feels like it....so watch out! Get ready this weekend! hehehe and best of luck I will keep you in my prayers...it will be FAST! hugs aunt linda
