Yikes!! We are officially two days away from our lil mans arrival! While we do have everything in place and ready (I think) I still keep saying I am not ready. Now that I know exactly when he will be here is scary. I had wanted to be "surprised" but because of doctor's orders we will need to be induced.
For anyone who does not know on Halloween we had an ultrasound to try to determine how big Ryan was since I had been measuring small. It was determined he was just an ounce short of 6 lbs. The following Friday at the doctors, we were told that November 15 I would be induced. The ultrasound showed the placenta isn't giving him enough nutrients and oxygen causing him to be in the 23rd percentile of growth. We went to the hospital yesterday for a non-stress test to make sure everything was ok. Less than 10 minutes into the test he had already moved more than they expect them to during the whole test (probably because he does not like ANYTHING touching my belly and ALWAYS kicks the heartbeat doppler at the doctors office) and his heartrate was good. A couple contractions but nothing major or close enough yet. They also did an ultrasound to measure the amniotic fluid and that was still good. We'll go to the doctor tomorrow to see what she says about the results and if she'll still want to induce on Saturday.
