Overdue

Well we are only one day overdue but it feels like few weeks! I went in today for my first post due date appointment. We were scheduled for a Non-Stress Test and an Ultrasound. I went in at 9 am for the NST. The doctor looks for accelerations in the baby's heart rate which happens most when baby is awake. So baby slept through the whole test!

So we went for the Ultrasound. He was moving all over the place. (Making it hard for the technician) He has hair, it showed up in the Ultrasound! I asked if she would check his size. She told me that they really don't like to do that because the numbers can be wrong but she did it anyway! She said "he does not look really big." she did the measurements and then said "ohhh" he measured at 8 lbs and 11 oz! Hopefully he comes soon!

We went back to try the NST again and he settled right back down to sleep through the second NST trial. We went back after lunch and he was kicking and very active so the doctor said he was doing fine.

We had contractions for quite a while last night so maybe tonight we will have some real action! We shall see. I was thinking this morning this is just like reading a book and you really have no idea what is going to happen next. Exciting yet at the same time...frustrating when you know at one point in the story there is an amazing event that makes the book interesting and worth reading. Maybe the next page will feature the blessed event~
