I just got back from my latest appointment. According to the doctors, I'm a week away from my due date so that means we had to discuss various things. The exam part was quick as always. This time Katarina went with us and she got to hear the heartbeat. She got this huge smile on her face when she heard it.
Dr. G said that if the baby doesn't come on it's own by next week, we had to talk about testing and "intervening measures". Basically, next week after my appointment I have to have my non-stress test. (Where I sit and watch tv and press a button when the baby moves and they monitor contractions.) Early the week after that, I have to have an ultra-sound to look at the baby's size and amniotic fluid. They would like to induce me on the 12th but I flat out refused and Dr. G was very understanding. I told him I would prefer early the next week because of the due date descrepincy. He agreed so at this point, it looks like if Baby S 2.0 doesn't come out on his/her own, it will be arriving around the 17th. For the sake of the pool, I hope it comes out by itself to make it fair for everyone!
Induction would consist of me having to go in to labor & delivery the night of the 16th to get something to help me start progressing.
