We had an okay doctor's appointment yesterday. Allie looked fabulous on all of her tests. She passed with flying colors! We got to see her face again on the ultrasound and watch her move around. They're estimating her at 7 1/2 pounds which is a lot smaller than Nick and I were guessing.
The doctors still maintain that she's not coming out anytime soon. She had dropped a few weeks ago but has since risen back up in my belly. She's head down but also has a foot up by her head. We're wondering if that foot is getting the way of her dropping again. The doctor suggested I sit on the dryer for awhile to try to get her to shake down a little bit! I'll let you know if I figure out how to get my big booty up onto the dryer. He also said that the 1/2 cm that I was dilated last week was "generous." Way to dash a girl's hopes! They're still not talking induction at this point since she's not really in position and my body's still not ready.
Moral of the story is that Allie is super comfy and not ready to meet us. We go back to the doctor next Tuesday (12/2) for a Biophysical Profile (detailed ultrasound) and then they'll discuss "helping her along" at that point. I think she's holding out until after Thanksgiving so that she gets to eat some good food via placenta vs only getting breast milk if she arrives before. Honestly, I can't blame her for that one. Looks like we're heading for a December baby!
