Yup, you read correctly... they're keeping my induction date as November 6th, but bumped it to an evening rather than early morning induction so I could get the most Awesome Dr. P... who we LOVE. She's like a tiny little kick ass cheerleader... very nice and very cool. I'm soft but barely dilated, the only redemption here is that the baby has dropped (the OB can touch the top of her head now)... so I have an unfavorable cervix right now, which is also playing into the decision to make me wait...
They aren't as concerned with Kat's size as I seem to be, they're thinking the ultrasound is likely off a bit and she's not QUITE as big as she's showing. We have another ultrasound tomorrow, so unless there's some crazy change they really want me to try to make it full term. Apparently babies of people with Gestational Diabetes tend to have lungs a tad underdeveloped, so taking the babies early isn't always a good thing. Since my GD is under control, and Kat is reacting well to all testing, they want me to make it to the due date if possible.
Now if I go on my own between now and then, it's anybody's game... so we'll see!
I have to admit I'm scared to have such a large baby (I mean c'mon... 10lbs?!?!) and had a minor panic attack earlier. But I'm going to trust that Kat will come when she's ready, and if she's not ready by the 6th, then they aren't going to let me go farther than that. So there's an end date in sight. I just hope my body can hold out... sooo 10 days more and counting!
