Dr. appt's this week

This week my appointments were back to back on Tuesday and Wednesday due to Thanksgiving. Since they fell this way, I only had an ultrasound at my specialist appointment, since it didn't make sense to have one the day after I already had one...so I went without on my OB visit today. This was officially my last appointment with the specialist, and I must say that it really was bitter sweet. I'm so glad to be nearing the finish line and meeting our little man, but at the same time, I've spent alot of time in that office and relied on his words for a lot of reassurance that everything is going good with Mr. Beau. He said that Beau still looked like a beautiful baby and he was just perfect! Beau estimated to weigh in at 7lb 15oz! Still our big boy! And he has one more week to bake!

The most beautiful face in the world!

Today was my appointment at my regular OB's office. Of course my OB is out this week on vacation for Thanksgiving, so this week I saw one of the other OB's in the practice. She was very personable and asked me lots of questions about how my pregnancy has gone thus far. Also, if anything happens this weekend, she is going to be the Dr. on call, so I'm glad that I got to meet her today...(just in case)! She did do a cervical check and we have change! She said that I am 1-2cm dialated and 50% effaced!!! Woohoo! She said that for this to be my first pregnancy and to only be at 37 weeks that is just fabulous! Hopefully, in the next week things will keep moving forward, and this should make the induction faster and easier! Two words that we definietly want to hear!

So I will go back in on Monday afternoon for an appointment with Dr. K, and she will decide if I need to go into the hospital on Monday night to start the induction process, or if I go in bright and early Tuesday morning. We will be playing it by ear! I'm still waiting for this all to become real!! It's all so surreal!
