I saw both of my doctors today.  I had contractions this afternoon, but they have stopped for now.  The baby weighs 5lbs and 11ozs.  Everything looks really good as far as the baby is concerned, but my placenta is still getting worse.  I am 36 weeks and 4 days along, and the doctors are both afraid that things could go bad if they let me go all the way to 40 weeks.  So the doctors have decided to induce my labor, next Thursday, on April 17th.  If Damian doesn’t come before then, I’ll go in to the hospital the morning of the 17th, and they will induce my labor.  So he will be born that day, or early the next morning.  I can’t believe that he’s going to be here within eight days!!  I am very excited, quite nervous, but I can’t wait to hold him in my arms.  He is definitely our little angel, he has made it through so much to get this far, and we are so very grateful that the end/beginning is so near!  I’ll go back to the regular doctor tomorrow, for a Non-Stress Test, then I’ll get checked next Monday and Wednesday just to monitor my progress.  I’ll keep updating the site with each appointment, and after Damian is born I will put pictures of him up here.  🙂
