37 Weeks

37 weeks… full term… I could pop at any time….

We had another one of Caleb’s biophysical profiles this morning. Everything was perfect. And I mean everything. The tech couldn’t find any arrhythmia in his heart. She said that if they couldn’t find anything next time, we wouldn’t have to come in as often. Both Andy and I have noticed that with each time we’ve observed his heart, the arrhythmia has been less noticeable or less frequent. We have a cardiologist follow-up tomorrow morning so maybe they’ll confirm that his arrhythmia has resolved itself. That’s my prayer anyways. I’ll update tomorrow on what they say.

Other than that, we got another set of cute pictures today. The one on the right being one of them. I can’t resist putting them up here to show everyone. Although I think Andy and I are both in agreement that we’re tired of ultrasound pictures and are more than ready to see this little guy in person.

As far as myself, I’ve had a giant surge in energy. It doesn’t quite make sense since I’m waking up every hour because either I have to pee, drink something, change positions or the baby decides it’s party time. Also, since he’s dropped, I’m feeling a whole new set of aches and pains. I’m getting pretty tempted to ask my doctor about induction when we see him on Friday just to see where he stands. We’ll see if I have the guts to ask him. I’ve been wanting to but I chicken out because I feel like a horrible parent wanting to bring my child in this world when its convenient for me.

Also remember to put a guess in on our baby pool. Andy is apparently feeling generous and is going to give a prize to the winner. So it’s well worth putting in a vote. Oh, and If it were up to me, anyone who predicts him coming late (ahem Eric) or being a rediculusly large baby (ahem Robert) would have to give me a prize.

    If you decide to induce, let me know the date so I can make another entry in the baby pool.

  2. Andrew Says:

    Come on, even though my date is late, you have to admit it would be cool to give birth at 430am on Christmas morning! Best timing EVER.

  3. Eric Says:

    I better not catch you betting on an induced pregnancy Bri, or I will be forced to change Caleb’s name to Tim Donaghy Jr.

    This child looks entirely different every time I see a new picture! What’s up with those lips in this one? He’s adorable though, no doubt about it. Good luck deciding on to induce or not to induce.

  5. Karl Liebmann Says:

    I agree with Mike. If you induce my date becomes invalid. :)
    The all important thing is the health of both Mom and Baby. So do what is best for your health.

    I just discovered your blog. The pictures of Caleb are incredible, and his nursery looks spectacular. You’ve done a great job!

    I was induced twice. After Jared arrived after only four hours of labor and doing it alone because Ivan was flying (!) I made sure he was there for the next two. :o)

    I’ve been praying for you all.
