Just a quick update...
Went to the doctor yesterday for a growth ultrasound. They estimated Harper to be 8lb, 1oz. Once she took the measurements and the computer did its calculations, the ultrasonographer said, "wow, that can't be right. Let me re-measure" The next one came up bigger...so we went with the first:) haha Not too surprising that I've got a little chunker in there! I love, love, love that we have big babies. It just makes me a little nervous having to get them here!
Other stats: I am 60% effaced (thinning of the cervix) and I've dilated about 3cm. So really, could be any day now! We won't induce until 39 weeks. At that point, she's really pushing for induction due to size. Since the 39 week mark falls on a Saturday, the induction date is set for Monday, August 23rd. Coincidentally, that's when Ella will be 20 months EXACTLY:) Ob said she seriously doubts that I'll go til then. I'd love to think she can predict that, but I guess we'll just have to wait and see!
Needless to say, I am ready! I am so much more anxious this time. Now, I know a little of what to expect so I know what to worry about! It was all very foreign last time. I'm also a little concerned about how fast Harper will show up once active labor actually gets started. Second babies typically come faster than first ones. Just as long as we make it to the hospital! Leaving Ella is also strange to think about. I know she'll be just fine and very well taken care of, but I also know we will miss her like crazy!
We'll be keeping everyone posted!
