Yesterday was quite the exciting day! After taking Ava to her two year check up and hearing yet again how wonderful she is (I have to brag!), I went to see the OB/Gyn. At 38 weeks, I was anxious to get some good news! And I did! I measured 4 centimeters! Hooray!
After lots of tears and prayers and advice from my doctor, Matt and I have decided to schedule an augmentation for tomorrow morning. In case you don't know what that means, (I didn't until my sister Melanie told me today), an augmentation is when labor stalls and medication is given to keep it going. You see, last night I had contractions for 5 hours, but then they stalled. Today has been much of the same - contractions that won't organize. I think my body needs a little assistance.
So say a prayer for me, as we are about to meet our baby boy! We will post his name and pictures just as soon as we can!!!
By the way, Ava weighs 30 pounds (85%), is 34 inches tall (55%) and continues to have a big head (92%). Her communication is growing by leaps and bounds - full sentences, learning colors, shapes. She can count correctly to 14 and sing her ABC's. She loves to play "house" with her babydolls - feeding them, fixing bottles and rocking them to sleep. She also loves to play dressup and roar like a lion (her favorite animal).
