LAST doctor visit. whew!

I am so thankful to have good doctors to rely on...but my goodness, I have seen them more than my share lately.  I have been going to the doctor twice a week for about 6 weeks now--geez, enough is enough. 

On Monday, they ultrasound the baby and check to make sure her heartbeat is good and steady, check my urine (yay me), and weight, and measure my belly.  It's loads of fun, I say!

On Thursdays (this week Wednesday due to Thanksgiving) they hook me up to two belts (one is for baby's heartbeat and the other is to monitor any contractions).  Oh yeah, and they check weight and urine (again). Yay.

Tomorrow is my LAST OFFICE VISIT until I have the baby on Monday.  It has been quite a long road with the doctor visits, so I'm quite glad this is the final one!  I think I know all the nurse's names and I think they all know me...sad but true.

I am so very thankful that the pregnancy has gone so great and that we are both healthy.  So thankful for that.

Now, the final decision on the name........should she have four names like my other two kids?  We shall soon see :)

Tessa will be here soon.

We went to the doctor this morning and he thinks C-section will probably be the best bet for us.  We are scheduled for Monday, November 29th at 6:00am.  The doctor says my pelvis is small (go figure--the one small thing on me and I can't even see it) and he thinks we would probably fare better with a c-section.  I trust his judgment, so we are going for it.
Please keep us in your prayers.
I will keep you all posted, I promise!
Thanks.
