It is official...Indiana Rose will be here in as little as 3-4 weeks. At my specialist's appointment on Wednesday he informed me that I will not make it to my due date and he wants to induce me at 37 or 38 weeks. I have to say that I am excited to hear the news, but a little scared at the same time. I am at the point where I just want her out so I can meet her and finally see who has been kicking me for months. :)
The doctor also said that she is doing very well and just needs to grow a little more before we bring her into the world. The decision to pull her early was not, because she is under any stress, but because Mommy needs to get back to feeling better as soon as possible. My Lupus has been under control during the pregnancy, but I can't take all of the necessary medicines I need to take to possibly put me into remission. Once Indy is delivered, we have a plan to put me back on the medicine that I responded so well to, but could not take because it would have harmed the baby. The doctor assured me that at 37 weeks she is "fully cooked" and is ready to meet her very excited parents, so she should be just fine.
So it looks like Indy will be a "Thanksgiving Baby" instead of a "Christmas Baby."
