Update!

Hello Everyone,

He is not here yet, but I am being induced tomorrow night. I have had a pretty uneventful pregnancy until this last week. Last week Wednesday I woke up in the morning with terrible pain in my right side. I called the doctor and they asked me to go to Labor & Delivery to get checked out. They monitored me and baby, did an ultrasound, gave me some antibiotics for a minor infection and sent me home. They said the pain was probably a positional thing (baby pressing on something). I was having irregular contractions which I couldn't feel at all so they sent me on my way.

Yesterday, had my last scheduled OB appt. My blood pressure was high, I had a rapid weight gain and protein in my urine all major signs of preeclampsia so they sent me to Labor & Delivery for the second time in less than a week. Of course when I get there, all tests and my blood pressure were fine. Contractions again this time I can feel them but they are not regular yet. So I was sent home for the second time. Before we went to the hospital my doctor said they estimated during the ultrasound the baby is approximately 9 lbs (AAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!). This is approximate so he could be a little smaller (hopefully) but also could be a little bigger (let's hope for the former). So even if I wasn't delivering last night she wanted to start inducing me this week. So I go into the hospital tomorrow night at 6pm to start induction. Hopefully things go well and he will arrive sometime on Thursday!

It couldn't have worked out any better, my mom will be here to see her first grandchild come into the world. She should be arriving Wednesday night. Myself or Dennis will send out the announcement and pictures as soon as possible! I cannot wait until this little man arrives.

Love~Angie, Dennis and Baby Scavnicar
