My final doctor visit!

I had my FINAL doctor appointment this afternoon (late, hence the late post!). Things are good.. baby is great, obviously very comfy + content. I gained 2 pounds and am blaming that on Easter goodies and dinner — and so worth it! In total this whole pregnancy I have gained 25 pounds! Not to bad! That is about 20 pounds less than I did with Ben.

I saw a new doctor today and it was refreshing to talk to someone different. I thought it would be the opposite, but he was great. We discussed the problems I have had with the headaches/seeing spots and why it would be happening. Normally they wouldn't induce (or even think about an induction) until at least a week, unless there were reasons to be concerned. And this is why I brought it up. I was glad he took me seriously and didn't brush it off as "just a minor migraine".

The funniest part is that he compared me to 'a piece of toast that is starting to smoke' — everything is good to a certain point, there is no fire, but don't want to make any possible problems cause stress on the baby, especially during delivery. Not to mention it is obviously cooked! He sent me for some more blood work (which I got done in record time at the hospital!) so that they would have the results faster rather than going to the BC Bio Lab. Oh, and he guesstimated the baby to be "big average", meaning 8+ pounds. We'll see!

So! My good news is that Friday morning at 7:30 I go in for my induction! At the end of the appointment, which lasted WAY longer than any other appointment with my reg. doctor, he asked me if I was okay with that, how I felt, etc, and if I was comfortable with him doing it as I had never seen him before. I glanced at Mike and I think we both thought at the same time "I don't care who does it just get it out!"!

Can't wait to meet this *stubborn* little trixster of a baby!
