Waiting Game

With 4 days till our due date, we are basically playing the waiting game. Wonder when our baby bundle will arrive?

At our doctor's visit yesterday we reiterated that we are happy to wait it out to see what happens on it's own naturally. I'm feeling good and not uncomfortable so we figured no need to rush things with sweeping the membranes. Think Doug wants to get another week of work behind him before he takes a couple weeks for the baby.

Baby is measuring on track and the heartbeat is still nice and strong. I captured a little video to share the sound of the heartbeat with you. It was about 148 I think.

I wasn't sure if the baby was completely engaged in my pelvis because I don't feel like I've read about or had some people describe. I imagined feeling really uncomfortable, that it would be hard to walk, and I would 'feel' the baby sitting low - 'it may feel like the baby is going to fall out, but it won't'! Despite not feeling that way, the doctor says that the baby is engaged and sitting low in my pelvis. She also said I'm 2cm dilated now. She thinks the baby is a healthy size, not too big, not too small. About 7lbs was her prediction.

We have another appointment for next Monday (one day past due) and then she said they would let me go another week before they would induce me. Still hoping for a St. Paddy's Day baby!!
