Today we went to the Dr's Office. Mike brought the camera to document the event. I said "why did you bring the camera?" and he said "so that next time you want to have a baby, I can show you these pictures and you will not want to." and I said "you mean I'll look at these pictures and remember how radiant I looked."
This is us buckling in...
This is us getting out of the car, going into the building...
This is Porter waiting with us...
This is Mike and Porter entertaining themselves.
It turns out this little appointment took 2 and a half hours! :/
What we found out: still a 1.5 and he couldn't feel the babies head so he had moved back up in my womb. The dr. wheeled in the ultrasound machine to see if he might be breach...luckily, he is still head down. The biggest thing about these last appointments is that my Dr. scheduled my appointment to be induced on Monday-August 10th! I am trying to be very patient and let nature take his course--I would rather go into labor on my own. Well, today was significant because the Dr. said "Due to your history, I would like to get the baby out at soon as I can." (Porter's water in his placenta was low, which is why I had to be induced with him.) He did say there isn't a huge risk, but still a risk and that he would tell his wife or daughter to get the baby out. He said "I'm a Dr., I am suppose to worry, don't do anything that you're not comfortable with. Do what you want to do, I'm not trying to pressure you into it." he patted my feet and left me to the decision.
Of course I don't want to put the baby in any danger, but I don't want to be induced! I have waited 9 months, I want an experience out of it, not a lay in bed and watch a movie while my baby is born day. Anyway, he said come back in two days and we'll check on him again, and you can let me know what you wanna do....
Mike's Take: just do it on Monday
Jenn's Take: wait.
