Week 39

Yesterday I had my weekly appointment with my doctor and I still am not dilated and have no effacement, it looks at though Caleb is not ready to meet the world. I haven't even had any contractions except for Braxton-Hicks which are like once a week. There are still 7 days left before his due date, so it is still possible that he'll make it. Otherwise, I'll be induced on Oct. 10th. Next week, my doctor will confirm and set up the inducement officially if there is still no progress. I'll see her one more time on the 8th to do a final check, then on the 9th either she'll give me something in her office to cause effacement and i'll spend the night at home and report to the hospital in the morning or I'll spend the night in the hospital and they'll give me some medication through IV to cause effacement. It looks like only 14 days at the most until our little guy is here, we can't wait to meet him.

He Turned!!

Well, we received some good news on Tuesday when I had my weekly visit with my doctor, Caleb has finally decided to turn. He is head down, not ready to come into the world yet but at least he's in the right position. He is transverse, so his face is facing my right side. James was able to see him on the sonogram screen but I couldn't see him. :( Everything is going well, although my contractions haven't started yet. So, the waiting game begins...

Less Then A Month To Go

Only about four more weeks to go and little Caleb James Wall will be coming into the world (hopefully, it's not longer). I am definitely ready to not be pregnant anymore although I must say I have had it easy just a little bit of heartburn, swollen feet and the backaches are just beginning to start. It's also that time where I spend every week visiting the doctor. When we had our last sonogram back in June, Caleb was breech. Last Tuesday when I had my appointment my doctor wasn't sure if he was still breech or not. On Tuesday, I'll have another sonogram to find out if he is still breech. We decided that if he is breech, we aren't going to do the procedure (I forgot what it's called) where the doctor tries to turn him, my doctor won't do it and I don't fully understand the risks so we decided to be on the safe side. That means that I will have to have an elective c-section and instead of him being an October baby when he's due, he'll become a September baby.

James & I are getting the last bit of things for the little guy, we still haven't gotten diapers yet. There are a few more things that I'd like to get for his nursery to complete his Winnie-The-Pooh theme but overall we are both ready for him to hurry up and get here. I don't think Cowboy is as excited as we are though, he is not going to be happy when this little baby takes time away from him! Here's some pictures of Caleb's nursery.
