Hard to believe. I have to say that the first 8 months went super fast, but this last month has gone very slowly. The time is finally here. By this weekend, I will have a new baby in my arms. It's crazy to think about!
My contractions have pretty much stopped, so I realized last night that I was definitely going to be induced. I'm ok with it. I wish I just went into labor on my own, but I'm ready. I've done a lot of reading about inductions and gotten some good stories from the girls on my message board. I'm feeling much more confident about the whole thing. Still scared to go through the whole delivery part of it, but I made it once, I can do it again!
Tomorrow Katarina is staying home from Miss Barbara's and we are spending our morning together. Oma & Opa are arriving in the afternoon so I can give them a rundown of what is to happen while I'm gone. I'm a control freak, you know, and I need to know that things will run smoothly! ;-) I have my final OB appointment in the afternoon to just do one more check if anything is happening. As of the last appointment, the game plan was for me to check into the hospital after dinner, around 6:30. Nick will go with me and stay for a little while. They will be giving me Cervadil to get me to efface more. And an IV, which I'm dreading. That was the worst part LAST time.
In the morning, they will start Pitocin. And hopefully by later morning/early afternoon, we will be spreading the word on our new family member!
So, that is the rundown for those that read this blog and wonder what is going on. You probably won't hear from either of us until Friday afternoon. Just cross your fingers that all goes well and we have a beautiful, healthy baby!

You're going to do great! Keep the confidence-- it goes a long way :) We'll be on the edge of our seats 'til we hear from you! We can't wait to meet the newest member of the family.
