The Plan

Saturday, March 19, 2011 3 comments
On Friday we had our weekly OB Appt (we also had an NST and AFI done, per usual)and this weeks discussion centered around Kahlan's arrival!! Dr. Stemmerman talked with a Dr. from the Family Maternity Center and figured out what all the new regulations and procedures are involving inductions. She also got the other Dr's opinion on the timing of induction and they recommended 37 weeks. So, Dr. Stemmerman looked at her schedule and we looked at ours and we planned it all out!
On March 29th we will go into the FMC for an Amniocentesis to gauge the maturity of her lungs and if that shows everything is a go, then we will be going in on the 30th, probably in the evening sometime, to have a balloon put in to start me dilating and then the next morning, the 31st, we will go in to be induced!
Parker's induction went pretty darn smoothly and the labor was 12 hours... so, I am hoping and praying that Kahlan's goes as smoothly!! Although, any way the labor goes, I will just be so excited to hold her and take her home... the rest is just whatever needs to go on to make that happen! I'm not picky, just praying for a live, healthy baby!!
Getting excited and nervous now that there is a set date! More of each of those feelings every day it seems!! Well, now I've just got to pack my bag and write up my birth plan :) God be with us and little Kahlan as we start this new journey!

    Jill, not sure if you remember me from Laura's wedding (she calls me Stew) but I've been thinking about you and praying for you during this pregnancy. I'm so excited for you and I pray everything goes great!
