Doctor update

We had an ultrasound today, Hailey is weighing in at 7 lbs 2 oz, we could also see her cute fat rolls and hair on her head! It was pretty amazing. Hailey has excess fluid in one kidney now, instead of both of them and my amniotic fluid level has decreased since the last ultrasound. Next week, I will do a non stress test before our appt to make sure Hailey is happy and feeling good.

The doctor we saw today is not our regular doctor, so we didn't ask about possibly being induced, and he didn't suggest it was necessary. So we will just wait and see. Part of me would love to be induced a week early because it would end the waiting and anticipation of finally knowing when she is going to be here, but part of me wants the excitement of not knowing! The doctor didn't check me today because he was able to see on the ultrasound that I was not effaced or dilated. Technology is amazing!

After Hailey is born, our pediatrician will do an ultrasound on her to check her kidneys again. Our doctor said that it was hard to get an actual reading of her fluid levels while inside of me. So after she is born they will get a more accurate reading.

Our next appt. is Tuesday the 17th at 1pm, and the belly pic will be up tomorrow. :-)
