Last Dr. Apt before the big day...

Friday Oct 2nd, we went in for our last Dr. apt.
Again everything was looking good. The NST test came back good and my blood pressure still had not spiked any further then it had been, weight went down a couple more lbs, I don't know what to expect for weight any more because of the water weight.
After checking her heart beat and looking at the test results from Monday, Dr. Hamel finally said it's time. Saturday is our due date and we will be at 40 weeks and he feels everything is fine to start inducing.

R had a preference when we went in that if we schedule for early next week, to do it Tuesday - because Monday night was the Vikings vs Packers game and he didn't want to miss it cause we were in labor. So we asked to do it on Tuesday and went for our NST while they worked on setting it up. R was not able to sit in for the test this time, cause there was another lady back there, so he had to go out to the lobby. Hamel came in while I was doing the test and said that he works Monday at the clinic and is the on call Dr. at the hospital Monday night and then back at the clinic on Tuesday, so if we set up the induction for Monday there is over a 90% chance that he would be the Dr. there at the time of delivery. So while R was in the waiting room I told him to go ahead and set up the induction for Monday morning. R was a little upset at first when he found out that there was a chance that he would be missing the game, but like the Dr. said, there's a TV in the room but he was on the same page as I was and really would like Hamel to be our delivering Dr. So in the end, he was okay with it just hoped all weekend that I would not be in the middle of delivering during the big game.

So Monday Oct 5th is the scheduled big day. We have to be at the hospital at 6:30am.
Grandma and Papa are going to follow us up to the hospital and Grandma and Grandpa are going to come up first thing int he morning and meet us at the hospital.

One last weekend to make sure that everything is taken care of and the house is ready to bring her home.
