Quick OB Update from today

All is good.  33 weeks today!  I have one last 2 week reprieve, and then I begin the once-a-week visits.  Because they think Sparkie is so fabulous, they will be doing a sonogram at each visit from here on.  Okay - TECHnically, they are doing that because someone stamped SHE IS OLD on my file and that's their standard operating procedure for those of an "advanced maternal age".  What-EVAH.
The sonogram is to check amniotic fluid levels, breathing rates, movement, etc.  They either do that or do a non-stress test, and my doc likes the sonogram.  So, okay.

She also said that she will induce me a week early.  lol......  yeah.  This mommy doesn't do inductions unless medically necessary.  But, as she said, "we'll talk about it".  Actually, we think that the wee lass is still breech.  So, if she doesn't turn, I'll have to do more than just be induced.  A c-section will be necessary.  Again....  we have another 7 weeks to go.  A lot can happen in practically 2 months.

And, that's pretty much it!

A lot can happen in the time remaining. I was a breech baby so if Sparkie stays that way it is not the worst thing that could happen on the face of the planet. Still prayers are being said that she will flip before its time for her debut.
