i scheduled my induction!

as of today i'm scheduled to go in at 6pm sunday the 22nd for the first of a two part induction. the 2nd part will be the next morning. if i progress more between now and then i may not need the first part so i'll just go in for the 2nd part on the 23rd. so that's 12 days and counting!! holy crap, 12 days!!! ahhh! i'm SO not ready.

appointment went well today. the NST was perfect as usual, BP was normal, and my OB thinks baby weighs around 5 1/2 lbs which is right on target. i go in for a growth u/s on friday though just to make sure everything looks good and to get a weight estimate. i'm still getting contractions, sometimes 5-10 minutes apart, but nothing that remains regular. no dilation change yet, but i'm now 70% effaced so at least we know the contractions are doing something!! things can change overnight, but it looks like i probably won't have baby before the induction date.

You know if you have the baby on the 24th it will share a birthday with your cousin Matt...

I can hardly believe it is almost time - Can't you wait until my birthday - Nov. 11th is only a few more weeks...

Love you ;)
