I just had my first phone conversation with Mandy. She called to tell me about the ultrasound appointment tomorrow. We will get to see the baby AND they allow us to burn the ultrasound to a cd, so you may even get to see her tomorrow if I can figure out how to put it up here.
She is also MUCH happier with this doctor. The other guy had the gaul to suggest that if the baby got to 11 pounds they would just do a c-section rather than induce. As if she needs to have a c-section so she can go home and be unable to take care of her three other kids...insensitive!
The new doctor told her that he would induce at 39 weeks if she isn't moving along by then. She said her body has often started the process at 37 or 38 weeks anyway. So...we will not have to wait until July 11. Mandy's hope is to be able to have her before July 4 so that she can take the boys to the fireworks. We will see how it all plays out. Watch for an ultrasound update tomorrow! (and probably something about the upstairs too...I know that will bring you back!)
The best part is that she said that she feels really good about this and that we make her know this is the right thing for this little girl. I am so glad I called her back when she left the message! I hope she is ok when I burst in to sobs of joy tomorrow at the sight of our tiny, staticy, wiggly, girl-child. Maybe I will be able to hold back until we reach the car.

Good luck tomorrow!!!! We will call you when we get back from our ultrasounds. How cool is it that the cousins have ultrasounds on the same day!!!
Yeah for tomorrow! I can't wait to see Dirty Sally. Glad you had a good talk- and that she is giving you all the props as potential parents! (Um, isn't it nigh-on impossible to have a vag birth with an 11 pound baby anyway? Just guessing.) In the event of a c-section, will CC supply her with assistance after the birth? What week is she in now? So many questions! Check-ing back tomorrow!
