36 weeks


every sunday marks a new week of pregnancy for me.
so ironically i am wearing a dress or skirt in every belly picture. if you haven't already noticed.
sunday was the first day of my 36th week. i am already half way to week 37!
i now visit the doctor weekly.
i didn't hear any new news at my appointment on monday.
STILL measuring 4 weeks small. (measuring 32 weeks)
 the baby's heartbeat is strong.
i am dilated to "barely a 1" ... darn!
so like my doctor said ... "good news and bad news. good news, you still have a little bit.
 bad news, you still have a little bit."
ha. my thoughts exactly!
he thinks i will go all the way to 39 weeks ... my induction date.
i am kind of second guessing being induced when i have it scheduled.
should i wait and see if i go until 40 weeks and then decide?
any thoughts? what do y'all think?

Cute belly! Hopefully the little man is here before Brian and I return from Canada :) Can't wait to meet him!

You are adorably pregnant (though I'm sure it doesn't feel it!)
I'm all for you pushing the induction date back. But then, I've always been rather anti- inducement, so... Unless the doctor is really worried that the baby is having problems. That's just what I think, anyway.
Good luck! Maybe that little one will just decide to come out.
Glad everything is going well.

I will add my 2 cents to this question :) I feel that if you aren't dilating and the baby isn't ready to come, why force it? Plus if you get induced and don't progress like you should then they may do an emergency c-section... If you don't want to chance that, then I would wait another week :) Good luck with everything!

Meag, you look great. How exciting to be so close to being done!! I don't know what to tell you about the induction. Lucy came way before I had chance to be induced. Good luck with your decision!

Your so dang cute I love it! I say go with the induction date... me I like to be prepared and be in as much control as I possibly can! (which you really cant have much control over birth) Plus I want to see the little guy :-) Good luck with your decision.
