The big day!

So I just wanted to write a quick post and let everyone know that I am going to be induced this Thursday at 6 0clock am! So Liliana will be here November 19th!! I went in for my weekly check up and found out that I am dilated to a 3 and my cervix is 90 percent thinned out. My doctor asked me if I would like to be induced next week and I said maybe... He then said that we should do a quick ultrasound to make sure she was growing alright and that everything was fine. So that I could be induced next week.... But then

we went and did the ultrasound and he said that she is only about 5 lbs and 9 oz. He is worried because last month when I had my ultrasound she was in the right percentile and was growing fine... but since then she has dropped dramatically. Which leads him to think something could be wrong. ( she is in the 2nd percentile which means that for being at 38 weeks 98 percent of babies are bigger then her) He did more test on me today because he thought he may even have to induce me today... luckily everything looked okay so he said that I could go home as long as I pay super close attention to her movements and that he will see me on Thursday for labor. Since she is full term now and I am 38 weeks it is better to be safe then sorry he said. It is better to induce me then to let her sit in there and take the chance that something is wrong or could go wrong.

I am just thankful that I have a great doctor who watches me closely and wants to make sure my baby is safe. I am a little nervous but excited! I am still praying that everything is okay and that she is safe and healthy!
Please keep us in your prayers : )
