We spent the week having our high risk pregnancy tests for our Little Miss. She passed them both with flying colors! My non-stress test was Monday the 5th. Within the first 5 minutes she had already moved enough that she passed perfectly! I always said she was quite the tumbler. It was amazing to lay there for 20 minutes doing nothing but listening to her heartbeat and feeling her move. It so difficult to find the time to just enjoy her inside of me when I have a toddler running around too! Thankfully Papaw Jim came down to watch him for me during this time.
Thursday the 8th we had another biophysical profile that she once again was able to breeze through. Her heart rate was steady around 153 bpm. She is still down pretty low but we were able to get some AMAZING pictures of her face this time! My heart was so full as we watched her stick her tongue out and move her lips up and down. Just fascinating.
The ultrasound tech provided us yet again with another picture of her hair! Yes, hair. We do not believe it either since hair is not something that runs in our family for babies. My guess is that this hair will all fall out and she will be our bald little princess for a while. I could be wrong though! :)

| She is so sweet! |
I had my final doctor's appointment Monday the 12th before we get to welcome home our Little Pumpkin! It was another non-stress test and once again she passed perfectly. I'm still dilated to a 3 and nothing else going on! Just a waiting game. My conclusion is that my induction is definitely going to happen tomorrow. I am going to start with having my water broke as opposed to starting with Pitocin. Hopefully my body will just kick in and do what it needs to do.
We ask for many prayers for tomorrow that all will run smoothly with delivery and we will welcome our beautiful little girl to our family. We have had so much support and love during this pregnancy that we could not be more grateful!
