Appointments and Such

Yesterday's OB appointment went really well.  Nio is living up to the nickname 'Wombat'...*LOL*  He's very long and Dr. K says that we'll probably be having a 3kg baby.  Considering that he's going to be 3 weeks early...that's pretty big.

We have a date penciled in for his birth, too!  :)  It's the 11th of October, which means that it'll be easy for my family and American friends to remember his birth date...providing they can remember he was born in October.  And then, it's just...10/11/12.  Obviously, that formula doesn't work for those friends/family who write dates as day/month/year...*LOL*

We still don't know if this is going to be a natural birth or caesarian.  It all depends on his positioning.  He needs to be head down, centered properly, and with his spine against Louise's stomach.  If that's what he is, Dr. K will induce.  If he's anything other than that...Dr. K will do a caesarian.  Right now...he's head down with his head to one side of Louise's pelvis and his spine is against Louise's spine.  1 out of 3...if we were having him now...we wouldn't even consider an induction.

We have a scan next Friday to check his size and placental function and amount of fluid and such.  I'll be interested to see what they estimate his size to be.  :)  Another visit to Dr. K in two weeks.

And then Nio will make his arrival the following week! 

We still have a few things to do/buy/pick up...but, we'll be ready. 

I think.
