Baby Madson is officially full term!! Even though she's not due for another three weeks, if she comes now her chances of spending time in the NICU are lowered significantly. Kory and I had a chat with her and let her know she can come at any time now. She is no longer grounded! We have another ultrasound on Wednesday. We were originally scheduled to have one on October 21st, but since this is five days before her due date they wanted to see us before then. Hopefully after Wednesday we will have more news as to when they think she'll be here. Baby Madson is still breech, though it does feel like she now has both legs down. If she is still breech after the ultrasound on Wednesday, we will discuss with Dr Shaw on Thursday what she would like to do. Many doctors don't do external versions (they manually move the baby to be head down) because the baby ends up going back to the breech position. It can also cause the cord to get wrapped around the neck.
I finally painted Baby Madson's name on the wall. Now we just need to do a little more decorating and add more color to her room. Its nice to be pretty much done with the nursery except for last minute things. The hospital bag is packed. All the necessary items have been purchased. Now we just wait for Baby Madson to make her grand entrance. I will have a Baby Madson update after Thursday's appointment.
