We have a birthday! If all goes well and he decides to not come sooner, we will be having a Scorpio! (Woohooo!)
Doctor checked me out today...still 3 cm dilated and thin but hasn't changed much since 5 days ago. With everything that has been happening in this pregnancy, my doctor strongly suggested we go ahead and induce at 37 weeks. It's not normally something I would want to do but honestly with everything this kiddo has been through the past 34 weeks, I think it's okay to go ahead and induce and bring him into the world at 37 weeks. I cannot believe his birthday is in 3 weeks!!! Wow!
A vaginal delivery is still the plan and I do plan to birth all three babies. Told the doctor that we have decided to not see or hold the girls since they will be mostly bone and tissue and to cremate them. We then will keep their ashes together in a pretty box with their names on it and hold on to it for our son one day.
Having this date really made me happy and now I feel more motivated to continue on and get things ready for our little boy. As guilty as I do feel at times to be happy and move on, it's the right thing for him. My Dad came with me to the baby store today and bought us our infant car seat and that was so much fun! My Dad had a blast and I was happy he could be a part of that experience. The rest of this week and the next couple of weeks will be me going through girl stuff and boxing up the clothes and returning the duplicate twins things we received so we can get store credit and buy things for him as needed. I still hold faith in my heart that we will have another child one day and if it's a girl, we will have clothes for her. If not, I know lots of wonderful people who could use them.
Fingers and toes crossed that our little Ninja wants to stay in 3 more weeks and grow. He is super fiesty in my belly and growing at a great rate. Doctor thinks he will be least 6 lbs at 37 weeks if not more.
Guess I better get his first Halloween costume ready to wear!!!
Love you all...I can't believe this journey is almost over!! xoxo
