Sorry we haven’t updated the site lately…. I’ve been busy with trying to get ready for Baby Gavin’s arrival and the days have rushed by. I had some complications over a week ago when the boy tried to turn transverse (yes, totally sideways!) on me and caused sharp pains on one side, while leaving my other side numb. Hmm… sharp pains and not feeling baby move? That immediately calls for a trip to the hospital for monitoring according to my OB. After monitoring, he got a good bill of health and I was sent home.
On Monday, an internal exam revealed that I was already 3 cm dilated. It’s a nice head start! =) He had turned back to head down and already dropped into my pelvis. The OB thwapped him right on the head when he checked. Lol… Gavin didn’t appreciate it and tried to scurry away. There’s nowhere to hide buddy! Yesterday’s non-stress test showed about 5 contractions in the 20 minutes I was monitored, but then they eased off as they often do.
If I don’t go into labor on my own over the weekend, the OB will do another exam and strip the membranes on Monday. It’s basically just a jump start to help me out and should send me into labor. Kaitrinn is very excited that Gavin should be here within the next five days.
