And we wait...

November 4th Doctor's Appointment...not much of a Decision Day, but more of "Here's a Plan Day...well as much as you can plan for a baby day!"

We met Dr. Kutsche yesterday. Mom and Dad were really nervous because it meant no more JoJean who we were so comfortable with and a new nurse, which was a little nerve racking too because Jennifer is so wonderful. But we had NOTHING to worry about. First because JoJean and Jennifer both checked on us while we were on the fetal monitor and because Jennifer took us into the exam room and took my blood pressure and stuff, and JoJean sat in while we talked to Dr. Kutsche. Daddy and I were thankful for the slow day (and that daddy is so friendly that they liked us enough to still care a lot about how we were...they were excited to hear about the "plan" for you too!). You would appreciate Dr. Kutsche too...he was very friendly and very thorough. He went through our whole pregnancy, asked us a lot of questions, explained a lot of things to us. But he told us we're waiting for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here's the "PLAN"
Mom is off of work...not so much "bed rest" but no work, take it easy, etc. My blood pressure creeped back up there, so he decided staying home was best and he increased my blood pressure medication for the next few weeks.

Friday...mom is taking a 24 hour test and
Saturday...mom has to go to the hospital for test results and for a fetal monitoring session (which I LOVE because I get to sit and listen to your heart beat!)
Monday...going to office for fetal monitoring again
Wednesday...hospital in morning for ultrasound THEN doctor's office in afternoon

At our Wednesday appointment, we'll talk about the ultrasound results and see how big you are at that point. My body and you are not ready for delivery. So if next week you're bigger than 10 pounds we're going to schedule a c-section (my pelvis isn't big enough for a 10 pounder...sure didn't get that from grammy!). If not, unless you're in distress, we're going to wait for you to announce when you're ready.

So that's the story babe! We're sorry to disappoint all of your fans with "no" news about your arrival...but at this point I can appreciate the fact that you're the most important thing in the world right now and not just Daddy and I want the best for you, but the amazing team at the doctor's office is focused on you too!

We'll keep everyone updated!
