a quick update

Okay, a quick update about my baby girl and her pregnancy. I went with her to the doctor today and she talked to them about her birthing plan: breastfeeding, doesn't want to do natural childbirth. Her due date is 4 days away on the 10th.

The doctor "stripped her membranes" which moved her baby opening from one centimeter to two centimeters---10 is the highest and where it should be when baby arrives. This sometimes brings on the labor process.

Her blood pressure was up a little so she goes back in two days so they can monitor that. If the baby doesn't come before her last scheduled OB/GYN appt, Sept 13, she'll probably be induced then. And the due date is the 10th.

So baby boy will be here in the next week I guess. It really flew by fast and now I'm hoping for a safe delivery for baby and Skyler.

Best wishes Skyler. And to you Susan. And to the bubs, of course.
