It’s official. The date is set. This Saturday at 6am I’m going to be induced!  A little after 38 weeks (which is today)

This morning we first had our biophysical profile ultrasound at the perinatologist that would be followed by a visit to the OB. When we went into the ultrasound room, the first thing the tech asked us was when we were planning on having our induction. I thought this was a pretty strange question being that we never discussed this with them. When I asked her why she brought that up she said that, for babies with arrhythmia’s, it’s standard to induce around 38 weeks and they should never go past their due date. This was good to hear considering our leaning towards induction.

After the ultrasound we headed over to the OB. I was a little disappointed with this appointment from the start. For one, he didn’t even remember our induction conversation on Friday so I had to rehash the whole thing with him. Then, when we told him what the ultrasound tech told us, he blew it off as bologna and said that it wasn’t always the case. In this situation, both Andy and I have sided with the perinatologist because this is what they specialize in and are primarily concerned with the health of our son. Regardless, he was a fan of inducing and I just got the call that we’re scheduled for Saturday at 6am.

So, with all that said, come Saturday, we should be parents! Sorry for all of you who voted on different days, If you want, I can nullify the points for the dates and we can base the scores strictly on weight and length so everyone still has a chance. I know some of you more competitive people out there would appreciate that.
