Tomorrow's the big day!

I had my 39 week appointment today. I had an ultrasound last week because the Dr was worried about baby's size. The ultrasound report came back with good results and show the baby has grown well and is within the normal range. At my appointment today everything is normal: bp, baby's heartrate and my weight gain but when he measured my belly I am still at 36cms! He did not like that there was no still apparent growth in the last 6 weeks - I am concerned about this too...

Then, he did an internal and said I am still at 2cms my cervix is ripe and baby hasn't moved down any further from last week...he or she is just waiting there for who knows what to happen. So, because he is concerned about growth...he said the u/s was good but it doesn't tell us much about how and when baby is growing... and since I am only a couple of days away from my due date he wants to induce to get things started since he seems to think my body is ready and just needs a bit of a push.

So, tomorrow morning at 7:30 he wants to start with gel on the cervix and see how things go from there. I am excited to know that tomorrow's the big day and it's nice to be able to make arrangments for J without being in the midst of labour. B is excited that we are not in limbo waiting on baby. I am very nervous about being induced. I hope and pray all goes smoothly, quickly and that baby #2 arrives safe and healthy!

Wish us luck

House for sale and 7 days to go....

Last Tuesday we got another call from the relocation specialist. She chewed us out for not having listed our house yet! With a baby on the way and so much to do around the house to get it ready to seel I just wanted to slap her! Can't she understand we are really trying here??? But, we also realize that houses are harder to sell in the winter. Especially when you live in a region of the country that gets dumped with tonnes of snow. So, we finally got a call into our realtor and listed the house on Wednesday. Since then we have been running around like fools cleaning and clearing out our junk. It feels good to get it done. I just hope this house sells FAST!

I also wish that we could get our new furnace installed sometime soon. Yep, they finally told us we need to replace the whole darn thing, which in itself is fine with us but clearly it seems too much to ask that something related to our furnace fiasco would go smoothly. The furnace was ordered a week and a half ago and it should have arrived early last week -it didn't. The whole week went by without a word from the oil company so we have no idea what's going on. We are keeping our fingers crossed that it's there now and they will come in Monday or Tuesday this week and put it in....please wish us luck with that :)

So now we wait...we wait to sell our house, we wait for a new furnace get finally get installed and we wait for baby #2 to arrive. Yes! Only 7 days to go to our expected due date for this little one! I hope he or she decides to arrive sooner rather than later...I am getting quite impatient with tardiness these days - LOL!
