Within a week, Luke will be here - one way or another!
I had my weekly tests and doctor's visit yesterday. Luke measured 8 lbs 3 oz as of yesterday. With my gestational diabetes diagnosis, 39 weeks is the latest they want me to go so that he doesn't get too big. So, we're scheduled to induce next Wednesday, Sept. 24, if he doesn't appear before then. I'm dilated 1 cm (sorry if that's TMI), so the chances of him coming before next week are possible, but not likely. I'll go back for more tests next Tuesday and depending on the results I'll either be admitted Tuesday night or Wednesday morning.
One other happy note, the doctor did give me an antibiotic for my bronchitis! I should be feeling much better by the time Luke's scheduled to arrive. Since I'd had a Z-pack about 3 weeks ago that didn't knock this out, she put me on something stronger this time.
I'm going to plan on taking vacation/sick time Monday and Tuesday so that I can get some much-needed rest before Luke arrives to change my world forever. So, Friday should be my last day in the office until my maternity leave is up.
