going to the hospital tomorrow for a biophysical profile of the baby to ensure all is well inside, thus allowing me to stay pregnant longer.  there is worry b/c i'm a "vbac" and that is why there is a bit of a rush on getting the baby out on my due date and not much later.

they will check for 1. fluid around the baby 2. placenta (to make sure it isn't getting "old" or "tired of working") 3.  gross motor skills of baby (arms/legs moving) 4. fine motor skills of baby (fingers/toes moving) 5.  baby's breathing patterns

after the profile, i will be monitored for a stress test to see how she is responding to contractions, etc.

we are praying that i will spontaneously go into labor before any of this.  i've been contracting all day today, but they aren't increasing in strength or frequency.  just staying near 10min apart (grr!).

i hope to have a better update soon :)

if we don't check out well on the five points above or the stress test, i will probably be admitted and inductions begun (breaking water with heavily monitored small doses of pitocin).  this just increases my chances of another section, but i know the Lord has a great plan in mind :)  my prayer is that he brings forth priscilla naturally and i can have a 3rd successful vbac.

talk soon :)
