2 to 3 more weeks to go . . .

Yesterday I hit week 36 and saw the oncologist. Amazingly I saw her with a wait time less than 30 minutes. Last time it was about an hour and a half. She was shocked that my OB had not scheduled a date for inducing me. The same thing my prenatal specialist said last week. She left the room to call the OB and found out she was out this week for Spring Break. In Texas everyone has Spring Break this week unlike the schools in Texas. She said that would like me induced by 38 to 38.5 weeks which is only about 2 weeks away. I was told that the date will be determined next week. I might have to change my shots if I am currently dilated. They can put me on other medication that leaves the body quicker so I will not bleed too much if I go into labor prior to the induction.

Bob and I are trying to get ready for the baby since it is truly around the corner. Bob painted Matthew’s room and it took a couple different color choices for us to agree. The bottom of the wall is a grayish blue, chair rail is navy and the top is a cream color. I am happy with the color choices. It is boy but does not scream I am a baby boy. I just could not do the ultra baby blue or bright blue.

Plus we have other things such as taxes to wrap up before our little man comes. I hope we can get most of my "to do list" done. Bob laughs that I make lists but it is the only way to keep things in control.
