Here are some final (we hope) ultrasound images of Lucy. Today I spent the day at the hospital, and good reports all around. I am dilated to a two, and so the doctor scheduled my induction for Monday, July 20th. Taylor and I will report to the hospital at 7am for an amniocentesis. If the results show that her lungs are mature enough, they will induce me then and there. If her lungs are not mature I will be sent home to wait for me to go into labor naturally. I know I said earlier I wanted to go into labor naturally, but the thought of driving to the hospital in Phoenix with the diaper bag, my bag, car seat, and expecting a baby and then being sent home is down-right frightening. This pregnancy has dragged on forever, since I have been told I could have the baby any time since 28weeks. I cant imagine having to continue my twice a week hospital visits after I already went in for a scheduled induction. I am absolutely thrilled she is healthy, but this is really testing my patience. If I have to spend one more day sitting in hospital rooms getting tested, I seriously think I will die.

Good luck! I feel for ya. I had low fluid levels with my last pregnancy and so every time I went to the doctor for the last month almost, I was told to come with my bags packed. And then I got sent home every time. And while I was grateful he was doing ok and my levels were ok, I was so frustrated. It was a major emotional rollarcoaster.
She's got beautiful lips! So excited for you guys...we will cross our fingers for mature lungs!
hang in there, lady!!! I hope you get some good mature lung news next monday.
We are praying for your family. I keep asking Marsha about your updates. Lucy will arrive soon. Get all the rest you can this week. Good Luck!

I was the same way with Zach. Hospitalized at 32 weeks and told he could come any time then the 2x a week visits with my bag packed every time expecting to be induced and we went to 39 weeks. Its so frustrating! The good news is that girl's lungs mature faster than boys so I bet she's ready to go. We'll be anxiously awaiting the news!
what a cutie! Good luck!!
Good luck Sheri! I hope all goes well at your appointment on Monday. I will be thinking of you.
