eh

37Weeks, 5Days...


I'm home from my NST, Ultrasound and Exam...


Ashlyn is estimating at 8lbs 2ounces. Her head is measuring approx 34CM. (according to Sean, I wasn't looking at that.... I was looking at the fact it showed 40W3D at the bottom of the screen)


Her heart rate was from 125 to 160 if she was moving..


Me on the other hand... I am less than 1CM dilated, not effaced, my cervix is still really high, and Ashlyn is still floating around, and not "engaged" at all...


There are some concerns about the Gestational Diabetes and how her size is advancing. 4 weeks ago she was in the 67.8th Percentile... Today she was at the 81st Percentile.


I'm hoping SOMETHING happens between now and Wednesday. If not, there is a good chance they are going to Schedule me for a C-Section between 39 to 39.5 weeks.

My biggest concern is that she comes out healthy and perfect... I don't care HOW she gets into the world at this point, as long as it's safely...

Maybe if I shovel the "Snow of Doom" that's hitting Massachusetts today, I can somehow put myself into Labor...

  2. ... of course, we were SUPPOSED to get 8-12 inches of snow. We got LESS THAN AN INCH. I did, however, go out and scrape it all off the ground in the driveway, the side walk... every where I could, and NOT so much as a contraction!!!
    gaaahhh. I think she's holding on for dear life in there!!!
