Baby girl,
You don't know my history yet, but you will soon enoguh. The past 2 times I've been admitted to a hospital it was directly from a doctors appointment. Going into the appointment today I was a little convinced you'd keep the trend alive and decide to come while I was there. While you didn't do that, you are making my prediction a very real possibility.
The doctors appointment today showed I had lost 4 1/2 pounds in the last 2 weeks, while everything else looks pretty good the doctor is a bit concerned you've stopped growing. I looked this up (you will also likely become a professional googler when the time comes) and it sounds like it might be an issue with the placenta. I'm scheduled to get an ultrasound at 3:30 this afternoon so that we can see how much you've grown since your last ultrasound. If it doesn't look like you've done much, we will be walking across the street and checking into the hospital for your grand arrival. We'll still be inducing, so at least at this point the C-section is not on the table, so you could come on the day I've predicted from the start (June 21st). If you look good and this weight loss is something else, we'll go ahead as planned and induce on Monday morning. I'll post an update as soon as I can following the appointment this afternoon.
Fortunately, we finished your nursery last night. Your Dad and I did some construction (and I got to use my new power drill), and your Aunt T helped to set up the massive amount of stuff you've already acquired. Some of our assembly was tougher than others (it did in fact take me as long to make your swing as it took your Dad to build your entire bed), but in the end, everyone contributed to the cause. Below are some pictures of the effort:
Anyway Kaia, I just need you to come out healthy, so if that means today instead of Monday let's roll.
