FINALLY! We have a date and a time.
This Thursday, April 30 at 7 a.m., Sarah is going in to be induced.
After meeting with a number of specialists over the last couple days, this is what we have learned:
- Sarah began week 38 on Monday, but she is measuring at 42 weeks
- Doctor figures the baby to be about 8 pounds right now
- The insulin levels Sarah has been taking have actually been too much, so she is gradually dialing those back
- Her blood-sugar levels have been quite decent
- The c-section doctor is strongly recommending she deliver naturally (though a c-section is still possible)
After all of that, the doctors have set-up her up to begin inductions this Thursday. Now we do not expect a baby on Thursday (much to the dismay of Uncle Kent who predicted April 30!) based on last time with Nolan who took 5-days to arrive from the first induction. But who really knows – that’s the biggest lesson I am learning: with baby #2, you can never predict based on baby #1.
I will be getting up bright and early tomorrow [Wednesday] and driving to be with Sarah and Nolan. I can not WAIT to see them again. This bachelor life is definitely not for me!
We will keep you posted.
