37 weeks...and a plan!

Where to begin?

Doctor visit went well today, as usual. Although today's was actually timely too, which is new in the last few visits!

Blood Pressure: 110/60
Weight: STAYED THE SAME! NO WEIGHT GAIN FOR 2 WEEKS!
Fundal height: appropriate
Cervical check: a 'loose' 1cm and 50% effaced (so essentially the same as at 35 week check)
Heart Rate: 140

The GBS swab I had done at 35 weeks came back negative! Yipee! No need for antibiotics during labor! Then we got the usual, call if you feel a gush of water, any bleeding, contractions 5 minutes apart for an hour, cal the office if it is during office hours, if not go right to the hospital. Then she asked if we had any questions.

Which is when I inquired about how late she would let me go?  Meaning past my due date. She said no longer than 41 weeks, or we could induce at 39 weeks. Also known as the T.O.P (tired of pregnancy) plan. Ed said, is there such a thing? Needless to say, we said we would be interested in the induction at 39 weeks plan merely because we have a toddler to plan around and no family/friends closer than 90 miles to accomodate her! So she said she would have her nurse call and schedule it! I got a phone call a couple hours later saying that it is scheduled for March 14th at 7am!

That's the plan!

That being said, please leave a comment with your best guess as to what sex this Smith baby will be, what date it will be born on (better be March 14th!), what time, and baby stats (weight and length)!
