Good News!!

I just got back from an appointment with my OB, and boy, am I in a GREAT mood!! Originally, I was given a due date of Sept 21 based on my LMP (I won't go into details for those who don't understand what that means ;). Since then, I've had an amniocentesis and several ultrasounds in which the baby consistently measured about 3 days older (??). The Specialist said it wasn't necessary to change my due date, but today when I was visiting my regular OB doctor, she said that they could go by the earlier date in determining how soon I could be induced. This is good news!

So, now, I'm scheduled to be induced on Friday, September 12th, which is over a week sooner than I was thinking I'd be finished, and believe me, I am ready to be done with this pregnancy! Come to think of it, this is absolutely fantastic news!

Of course, the baby could still come earlier, but we'll keep our fingers crossed that doesn't happen.

Pumpkin, meanwhile, is very excited about his baby sister. Every day, he asks when she's going to "be ready." He's already proclaimed that he will teach her how to play trains, and yesterday, when I was commenting about getting her room ready, he offered to let her sleep with him since he has "lots of space" in his room. My heart literally swells to think of what a sweet boy he is. (Knowing how sibling relationships go, however, I'll just have to see how long THAT lasts, haha.)
