LAST OB/GYN Visit!

I can't believe we are finally here. We have reached the end of the pregnancy road. Can you believe it? There really has been no drastic change in my progress. I am 1-2cm dilated and 70% effaced. Dr. Kirshon is planning an easy delivery and we are hoping for the same. Dr. Kirshon takes care of notifying all the doctors and teams that will be around for the delivery. We were told to call labor & delivery at 5:30am Monday morning and see if they had a bed for us. They most likely will have a bed ready for us by 7:00am but we are not promised one. The L&D nurses just have to see how busy they are and then they will let us know. Please continue to have positive thoughts and keep us in your prayers. The next post will be about the delivery of Baby Boy Watson!

This is why I love Texas Children's Hospital

Feeling overwhelmed...

2 weeks left...AHHHHH!!!!

So much is going on in my brain that I can't even comprehend that our little guy will be here in no time at all. I am so excited to meet him. I met with Dr. Kirshon today and I am dilated to 1cm and 70% effaced. (Which doesn't mean much.) I am still scheduled to be induced on August 1st in the early morning hours. I feel good, the baby looks good and I am sure going to miss being pregnant. I have really taken advantage of every little kick he gives me and every little nudge that he gives to my tender gallbladder, OUCH! I am really nervous about him breathing on his own and doing everything by himself. We still haven't decided on a name but I know it will come to us. My last and final visit is July 27th!

36 week OB appt.

Today we met with Dr. Kirshon for my 36 week appointment. I meet with him again next Monday. We had an ultrasound done and besides the heart issue everything looks great. Dr. Kirshon said something about the bones being mature, meaning that the baby is ready. The little man is estimated to be 6 pounds 9 ounces. 54% percentile for a 36 week old fetus. The baby is measuring a bit further along, not by much though. It is set in stone that August 1st will be my induction date. That really makes me nervous because I have so much to plan! He checked my cervix and I am not dilated. He did not mention anything about effacement. That is all for today. :)
