Well, we had the second amnio today (all went fine and I didn't need the rhogam shot again) and just got the news that Toodle's lungs are ready...at first it didn't look promising, when we were at the OB's office for the NST she told us that the first test had come back "indeterminate", the same as last week (for some reason I thought she said intermediate last week but I guess not) and we'd need to wait for the follow up again. Toodle didn't move much during the NST until she did my internal exam so she also sent us for an ultrasound and biophysical profile (BPP) because he had also had some decreased movement yesterday, for which I'd gone in for an NST that I passed only when they buzzed him.
But we just heard and we are good to go. I don't think it has sunk in yet, I'm kind of in shock. Obviously scared, and just hoping that all goes smoothly. We will, of course, update when there is any news (hopefully good news).
And now, for what it appears will be my last OB appointment update stats:
B/P: 120/70; I guess last week was a fluke after all.
Weight: +29 pre-pregnancy (when I went in yesterday it was actually +30 but we'll just ignore that). I told DH if I went to 40 weeks I'd be in danger of weighing more than him, and he's not a small guy.
Toodle: estimated at 6 lbs 11 oz, 36%ile.
Cervix: 2 cm dilated, 50% effaced, soft. Based on this, OB decided to skip the foley catheter (what they use to open the cervix instead of cervidil).
I may turn off comments on this post if the count gets superhigh because I'm still sensitive about surpassing the comment count for the Doodle video, but for now I'll take all the good vibes. Thanks to everyone!

Hi Busted,
This is my first time commenting, but I have been a secret admirer of your blog for a while.
I love your unapologetic frankness and the ol' "telling it like it is"...it is absolutely refreshingly honest. I have read so many blogs where it seems the writer has a self-edit button and they do not really express how they feel. Thank you for allowing me and all the other readers out there to follow your journey.
I wish you and your husband nothing but the best at this exciting (albeit nerve wracking) time. Congrats and thanks again.
Oh wow...I am so excited for you! Will be praying for you.
I'm SO excited for you! Good luck and let us know when there's news!
Can't wait to see this lovely Toodle!
Good luck tomorrow! Try to get some rest tonight. I know it will be hard but you'll need it. I'm so happy for you and wish you a great L&D.
Good luck!! Thinking of you tomorrow!!
Thinking of you and Toodle! Good luck and I cannot wait to see all of his cuteness :)
Keeping you and your Toodle in my prayers. I'll be waiting anxiously for any updates!
Best of luck to you!! I have been following your blog for a long time and I am so excited for you!
Good luck! Sending thoughts your way that everything goes smoothly and you get to meet a healthy Toodle soon!
lots of great labor vibes to you! You're in fabulous hands and tomorrow will be awesome!! I can't wait to hear the news. I've got goosebumps right now and have been checking all day to see if there was an update!
good luck tomorrow! he'll do great, after all, he has a big brother and sister watching out for him. :)

I have been reading your blog everyday for over a year. I never comment, but wanted to wish you all of the well wishes within my heart for the safe delivery of Toodle.
