Evie is coming tomorrow!

We went in for the ultrasound today and Evie is estimated at 10 pounds (+/- 23 ounces)! With a mommy that weighed 9lbs, 9oz and a daddy that weighed 9lbs, 15oz, it wasn't too big of a surprise, but it did cause a slight change in plans!

Mom and I headed over to Dr. Tudder's office at his suggestion and he offered for an induction or c-section. I chose the c-section and we are scheduled for tomorrow morning at 9am. Mom and I had lunch at Chipotle and then headed to the hospital for pre-op.

We will be at the hospital by 7am tomorrow and we should meet Evie around 9:30! I will be in the hospital until Monday because of the three night hospital stay at Reston and during that time, only grandparents and Pumpkin will be allowed as visitors. Pumpkin will be off tomorrow through next Thursday, so we will have plenty of time to bond as a family. I am looking forward to meeting my little girl!

39 Week Dr's Appt

Yesterday was my 39 1/2 week dr's appointment. He has determined that I am a fingertip dialated, so that's good news. On Thursday, I will be 40 weeks, so he has ordered an ultrasound to find out how big the baby is. It's amazing with the ultrasounds that they have now that they can determine approximately how much the baby weighs. Because of the four different due dates they have given me (Feb 23, Mar 4, Mar 7, Mar 13), they want to make sure she is ready before they induce.

I'm really hoping that we won't end up with another 9 pounder like so many other babies on both sides of the family, but as long as Miss Evie is healthy, I will just be happy to have her here with me. If Evie is ready, on Monday we will talk induction.
