T-MINUS TWO WEEKS and she will blow!

Mom had her weekly doc appt this morning again with Dr. Sarkinen. Updates below!
  • Tummy is measuring small, but no worries
  • Lost 1/2 lb, surprising for how much she has been eating lately
  • Blood Pressure: Good
  • Baby heartbeat: Strong
  • Baby Position: Head down
  • Contractions: Good and normal.  She has been feeling more and more contractions lately but not regular.
  • Dilated 3cm, Effaced 80%
  • Today, she is considered "full term" and it would be healthy to deliver the baby at any time
  • Sleeplessness: Normal. Can't sleep a wink at night and absolutely exhausted during the day.  I think baby is trying to prep her with the new schedule.
  • She will go back to the doc on 2/18 (Friday) if she has not "gone" on her own. At that time, Dr. Sarkinen will look at her calendar and schedule an induction date for 2/23 or 2/24 depending on her/hospital schedule.
  • Mom is very thankful for Daddy lately.  She has needed to rest a bit and he's been great at keeping me under control!
Please continue to pray for a healthy baby girl/boy Sherck!  We are very excited for the new addition to our family!
