37 week appointment

So I had my weekly check up today and everything still looks great! I did find out today that my doctor is going to be out of town all next week and won't be back until the 19th, so I am really hoping and praying that Trey will stay put until she gets back!! I don't like the idea of having someone I have never met deliver our little guy, and I certainly don't like the idea of it were something to happen and I needed to have a c-section. So lets all just hope that he stays where he is!! They did talk to me about induction if Brian and I were interested in doing that. I have always known that Dr. Karon won't let you go past 40 weeks, so induction has always been a possibility. She said that I could be induced on the night of the 19th if I was interested, but if I wanted to see if I went on my own that I could. However, if I didn't have him by my due date, then I would have been induced on Monday the 25th. So I talked it over with Brian, and we have decided that we will go ahead and do the induction on the 19th as long as he doesn't come before then. It works out well schedule wise for us because I will have just started my maternity leave that week, and Brian will already be off work on Monday for MLK day since he works at the bank. Then if they induce me on Tuesday, he can just take the rest of the week off and not worry about having to use vacation days for part of one week and then on part of another week with his work load. Another cool thing is that Brian and I are hoping for him to be born on the 20th. Brian's dad (Todd Brian) was born on the 20th. Brian (Todd Brian II) was born on the 20th, so we think it would be neat for Trey (Todd Brian III) to be born on the 20th as well. And if it goes into the 21st, that won't bother us either because that is both my mom's and Brian's mom's birthday.

So make sure everyone is hoping that Trey will stay put until she gets back in town!
