Baby Watch: Week 39

Thursday's appointment was not very fruitful. Now the doc is talking about putting off induction until Friday the 10th. So much for taking her early so she doesn't get too big. The doctor estimates that she's now about 9.5 pounds, a full pound up from where she was last week.

It's a pretty frustrating time for us right now. We are concerned that the doc will put us off so long that we will be forced to have a c-section due to Maggie's size. I'm not scared of the surgery but am wary of the healing process while taking care of Wyatt and a newborn too. I also feel bad for Mags whose movements have decreased drastically over the last week. She's got to be so uncomfortable in there with barely any room to shift around.

So we are trying to keep our perspective in the face of disappointment and uncomfortability all around. I have an appointment for Monday and I think I may insist that they put me in the next available hospital slot. I will let ya'll know how that works out. Everyone keep them fingers crossed.
