Baby update

So here is the baby update. I went to the doctor's office on Wednesday and after we listened to the baby's heartbeat and I was monitored for contractions. I spoke to the nurse since I was 36 weeks, about how I think Taytum will come early. That got us talking about when she said the doctor was going to induce me. She said he would want to do it at 38 weeks which would be about the 14th. I told her that Josh did get done with school until the 21st and that he would be having his finals the week in between. She said because I did so well with my blood sugars that the doctor would probably let me go to 39 weeks but would not let me go all the way to 40 weeks without inducing me. So she scheduled a partial sonogram for next fridayto see how big the baby is getting, which works out great because Josh can come with me for support when I tell the doctor I don't want to be induced. Hopefully he will let me go as long as possible and I will be able to go into labor naturally. So pray for us that we will be able to go into labor on our own before, so we can do it naturally. I tease Josh that our baby will come during one of his finals, he did not like that idea. He said he still wants to pass all his classes and not be worried about having a baby. I guess we will see what happens, its out of our hands right now.
