We are having a baby....

I just got done at my Dr. appt. Again, nothing as far as progress has really changed. I did loose a pound. We got to talking, and I asked Dr. Kemp if I came back on Monday (20th) if he would keep me. He did look at the calendar, but didn't really say much except that I would be within my 39th week.

The baby's heart rate was at 160 today. It has been ranging in the 130's - 140's. He decided to hook me up to the monitors and check to make sure that everything was still okay. I got hooked up and sat there for 15 min. My contractions were coming about every 3 min. They are not strong, but I could definitely feel them. Everything else looked good.

Susan, my nurse, and Dr. Kemp walked in, checked the monitor, and Dr. Kemp said, "well, how does Wednesday sound?" I must have looked at him in disbelief. He said, "is this okay?" I was in shock and said, "I am just taking this all in." He said, "I figure the timing with the baby is okay, and you can rest awhile before the wedding."

Susan, went to call the hospital and had it all arranged. When she came back with all my instructions she said, she wouldn't be surprised if I did end up going into labor on my own. However, we will go to the hospital this Wed. the 15th (tax day) at 6:30 AM and start the process. Dr. Kemp does a Prostaglandin Gel instead of the patosin drip. They will start the process right away, and we will go from there.

I will have our lap top at the hospital with us, I assume the hospital will have wireless Internet so that we can keep everyone posted on our progress. Until then, I have A LOT to get done at home!!!!
