I had an appointment last Thursday with Dr. Felski. I asked him how much he thought Joseph will weigh. He said it looks like he could be around 8 lbs. 6 oz. I told him how DONE I am with being pregnant. Because Joseph will be a healthy size, he said we could induce labor early if I wanted. To which I replied, "OK!!!!" We set an appointment for Monday, August 18th at 1AM.
After I left the office I realized that the 18th is the first day of school in our area. Which means that is a terrible day for anyone to take care of Addy while I am in labor. I know I wouldn't want to take care of someone else's kid on that day. (It can be so hectic!) So, today I called Dr. Felski's office and canceled my induction appointment. It is not like I NEED to have Joseph on a certain day. I can wait. Plus, it was only 3 days early, which does not make a big difference in the long run. I am to the point where I have a Doctors appointment every week, so I will chat with Dr. Felski this Thursday about my options. I know he won't let me go more than a week over my due date. However, last time I ended up going into labor on the morning I was scheduled to be induced anyway. So, we are back to the waiting game for now. We'll have to see what happens!!!
