We have technically made it to term! woohoo!

Today was our 37 week appt. Jackson has mom a bit worried with how much he likes to teeter on the edge "of danger" with everything. He may be a bit of a daredevil, I think. Jackson passed his non stress test with flying colors today! He was the most active after juice than he has ever been in the last 10 weeks and 20 NSTs. He, of course, was asleep at the start, so we had to drink some juice to wake him up. James thinks he does this just for the sugar. :)He would take after mom on that one. We were very thrilled to see this. He then had his ultrasound to check the amniotic fluid levels since they were the concern this past week. He actually has only dropped a small amount and this was not what the doctor anticipated was going to happen, so we were pretty shocked at this one. My placenta is still scoring a 3 (0 bein the best and 3 being the worst) but Jackson is gaining weight like a champ, so they are not concerned until that stops. He weighed in at an estimated 6lbs 12oz on the ultrasound today. According to this, he would be pushing 9lbs if he went full term.... WOW! With all of these things, my doctor anticipated that one of them would go into an "unsafe zone" so had told us to plan on getting induced today. Oh, the last thing was my blood pressure... it's high but not high enough to induce based on that. So, needless to say we got everything prepared and that included our friends and family (sorry guys!). After evaluating everything, my doctor decided we were gonna hold out a while longer. She promised James that next Monday would be the latest (James made her schedule it in front of him!) We are going to re-evaluate things on Thursday as well, but Monday would be the longest we would go. In the meantime, she stripped my membranes to try to make me go into labor on my own. OUCH! So, no news today..... we are sorry to get everyone ready for nothing! We'll keep you posted if we decide to go the natural route, otherwise, you can at least plan on next monday for sure!! :) And I say, get induced... we're not gonna promise he'll come that day even though James says he will because it's the home run derby! :)

Talk to you all soon!!
