So we have a tentative induction date.
Apparently, at our ob/gyn practice, if you have not delivered by 39 weeks, they induce you (if you have gestational diabetes). The PA told us today that it is in the best interest for mom and baby.
It was still a bit of a shock to us. Luckily, our lovely TTC/mommy community is surrounding us with positive induction stories. The main goal is a healthy baby, by whatever means necessary.
So I will be admitted on Sunday, April 17th in the evening and hopefully have Miss Nuggette the following Monday, April 18th. That is, unless, she chooses to come earlier on her own. On April 18th I will be 39w4d (I get the extra days because I want my last day of work to be Friday, April 15th and they don't do inductions on the weekend). So, it's pretty close to her actual due date, and who knows, she may choose to make an appearance even earlier.
Next regular doctor appointment is in 2 weeks and the appointment after that is our 35 week u/s. We finally get another peek at the little miss.

I hope everything goes according to your desires in the birthday situation. Yay for an U/S soon!
We have our birth story (by induction) posted on our blog if you're interested in reading about our (positive) experience. Both my partner and I wrote something. :)
aww! I can't believe it's so soon already!
