I went to my last OB appointment yesterday. It was bittersweet because I have been going there every week since I was 24 weeks along. I know every nurse and OB in that office and it was really weird to not have to make another appointment for next week.
As of yesterday I am 2 cm dialated and based on the ultrasound, Hudson weighs 8 lbs and 8 oz. They said that the weight could vary from a little over a pound or so, but still, he is a big boy who has run out of room in my belly. If I do not go on my own by Sunday evening, then Jeremy and I will be at the hospital at 6pm to start the induction process. Overnight they will give me a drug (Cervidil) to soften my cervix, and then start another drug (Pitocin) on Monday morning. So at the latest, Hudson will be here Monday sometime which is only a day later than my estimated due date. Jeremy seems to be more relaxed now that we have been given a date, but I am still hoping to go before then.
Thanks again to everyone for their thoughts and prayers these last 9 months. It has made the bedrest go much smoother. Let's hope that the next time around is a little easier!!
