The Birth Story-Part 1

So, now that I seem to have somewhat of a handle on this motherhood thing I have decided to pick up where i left off in the blogging world. I think the best place to start would be reliving the day our whole world changed.....
Last time i wrote i was about 35 weeks pregnant and I had just developed PUPPPs, well things kinda went downhill from there. I was given a steriod to help control the rash and not long after that we had an ultrasound to check the baby since that hadn't been done since 18 weeks. Well, at that appt. the tech informed us that the baby was weighing in at 8lbs. 15ounces. I about fell off the table and derek laughed out loud. We were in shock, and so was our doctor, so began the talk of early delivery. She sent me to meet with a specialist to see about having an amino to check lung development. I was not onboard with that idea but i went anyway to see what he had to say. The ultrasound at the specialist office measured the baby at 7lb. 13oz. (looking back i think that was an accurate guess), he also told he thought it would be fine to wait to 38 weeks and i wouldn't need the amnio, we just might be having a very large baby.......so now fast forward about 2 weeks and lots of ultrasounds later and we have an induction date of Sept. 4th (10 days before our due date) This sounds like a plan to me bc i am already having contractions and my PUPPPs is coming back, not to mention bedrest is becoming VERY boring. We laid low all of Labor Day weekend and went into the hospital that Tuesday morning.......
I need to go get dinner together so i will pick up here in the next couple of days!
