msjorje | Doctor Appointment Update

I could not have asked for our appointment to go any better! The only drawback was not seeing Sasha on U/S. We did our Non Stress Test first and though Elmo and I were slightly concerned about Sasha being less active than last week, our doctor was happy with the results. She is doing well.

We discussed induction options. He knows we would like to go as natural as possible. The three of us agreed to have my membranes stripped again today (just like I'd hoped) and then I'll go to the hospital tomorrow evening to have my water broken (just as I'd hoped)! This will get Sasha here in plenty of time before Dr Ross leaves town. He will also be commuting, so he'll be around to check on Sasha himself.

I also confirmed that I had been tested (negative) for Chlamydia and Gonorrhea, so there really is no real need for Sasha to get the eye ointment. We had already arranged for her to not have that done.

We are stoked! I'm excited that after tonight, we can put away extra bedding and make OUR bed! This will be my last night to sleep in a chair. I definitely plan to nap tomorrow! I need to be well rested for the night. Hopefully Elmo will be able to catch some Zs tomorrow, too.

Wish me luck! Of course it would be even BETTER if I went into labor before then, but I'll settle for then.
