So we went to my OB today to discuss the cardiologist and perinatologist appointment results and how they will affect the rest of the pregnancy. There was good news and bad news.
The bad news...she won't let me travel to Baton Rouge this weekend for the LSU game. What a let down. I've been excited about this game for MONTHS. This will be the first season in 8 years that I will not get to attend a game in the stadium. Sigh.
The good news...we will be scheduled for an induction by the 39th week. So we will get to meet Sam a few days sooner that due date...unless he decided to come on his own earlier than that. I am going to try to work through December 12. December 13 (Saturday) is the beginning of the 39th week and if it were up to me we would schedule for that day. She wants to wait a few more weeks before we break out a schedule book though. Regardless, we will schedule induction for midnight...that gives us the best chance of delivering a baby during daylight hours (which is when the cardiologist will answer his phone...he's rich enough to be able to turn it off without consequence at night). The OB also confirmed that as soon as Sam is born, he will head straight to the NICU until he is transfered to Atlanta. So at least we can prepare for that.
No more appointments with the Cardiologist until after the baby is born (he will come see him in the NICU). No more appointments with the Perinatologist EVER. For now, we keep the weekly OB appointments with weekly non-stress tests to be sure everything is in check.

Doesn't your OB know you need to see your friends? Helllooo! Clearly...we're good at lowering blood pressure because when you were with us, you were fine.
I'm sad you won't be there! Maybe I'll just have to fly to Georgia.
I love you!
