Had another visit with the Doctor today. Gina is convinced that the baby is quite content to stay put for now. The doctor has different plans for him and I'm not quite sure that Joe understands that he's serious!
She's been really itchy for the past few days and almost didn't even say anything to the doctor today. Good thing I asked him before he left the room. It turns out there could be something more serious than just high levels of histamine in her system. Not deadly, but something that he had us go and get blood work done for. Something called bile acids and it supposedly can cause Joe's kidney's to stress if we don't take care of it. So that's one thing we definitely want to monitor.
As for the due date, we're still looking at the 26th of this month or 4 days from now. If he's not here though, we'll have an ultrasound done on Tuesday to check out the weight of the baby and the size of the placenta. The results of this will determine if we need to go the C-Section route or not. If he's still not here by Thursday, it'll be back to the doctor's office for a stress test/checkup on mom and baby. That will help the doctor figure out if he needs to induce labor or not. He said we're only waiting one to one and a half weeks past the 26th before he induces though.
So it's a waiting game right now. Gina is still in really good spirits and great health wise. All of her vitals have been spot on all the way through the pregnancy. She's even LOST a pound over the last two visits! What a trooper!
More news as we get it!
John and Gina
