38 weeks - and a scheduled induction!

Here's my 38 week photo:

I had my weekly appointment with the OBGYN today. Easton's heartbeat was a strong 140bpm & I gained a pound. My blood pressure & sugar were fine, but my fundal height measured 42cm, which is 4 weeks ahead!!! My doctor is a bit concerned about how large Easton is getting, and thought it would be best to schedule an induction. She did my internal exam and said that I was 1cm dilated and 70-80% effaced. I have made some progress which makes me a more favorable candidate for induction. The induction is scheduled for Tuesday January 19th. We are supposed to arrive at L&D at 6am that morning to get the process started.

So it looks like Easton's birthday will be on January 19th, unless he decides to arrive earlier! :-)
We are very excited to know that Easton will be here in a week. However, I am a bit anxious about the induction process, especially since there is a chance it could end with a c-section. Regardless of how it happens, we just want Easton (and his Mom) to come out of it healthy .... please keep us in your prayers, and we'll post updates soon.
