Today we had another doctor's appointment and an ultrasound to check the amniotic fluid. Dr. Jacobson said the fluid looked really good, but still wanted to induce on the 18th. We managed to get that canceled and had another pre-natal appointment and a stress test for Joshua set for that day instead. Both Raul and I really do not want to go the induction route no matter how uncomfortable or ready I am for him to be here.
Because he is so big now (doctor estimates him to be a 7lb 12oz baby) the ultrasound wasn't all clear and really pretty like the one at 20wks, but I wanted to share my favorite picture of his little toes.
Still waiting and waiting and waiting.
Hoping the full moon on the 13th will bring us some progress and Joshua will arrive soon.
So, how many people does it take to put in a car seat? Yesterday the answer would have been six. Raul and I tried it out, weren't exactly sure if it was right even after reading the instructions. So I went next door to Jaime and Lisa and asked them...."Sure we know how" (they have a niece in a carseat)....Jaime walks over..."Oh, I don't know about the rear facing ones." So he and Raul put their heads together and try to figure it out. In the meantime Debbie pulls up into her garage. I waddle over and ask her and Marvin (their daughter and grandson lived with them when he was born). They take one look at it and take the second seat belt off. Debbie explains that the car seat will lift up in the front, but that is supposed to be that way as long as it is latched in the back. So all along, Raul and I had it sort of right. Who thought these things would be so complicated?
