Monday is "Baby Day"

Ok, it's official...

Went to the doc this AM, and unless this baby boy decides to come on his own this weekend, we will be inducing on Monday morning, starting at 6:00AM!

I was at 3.5 cm, very thin cervix, so he is ready to make his way out! And then there is me... I am VERY puffy today, and had a "significant" weight gain. So, even before she checked me, she wanted me to take next week off and rest this weekend anyway.

Then she checked me and decided on Monday, which we agreed with.

Whoo hoo!! We are definitely excited! :)

March 10 is a good birthday, right?

38 weeks today.

Did I mention I was ready for this baby boy to come out yet?

He is still hangin' in there. I keep hearing that Chinese food and a glass of wine are supposed to do it...

I am thinking we may be going for some after we meet with potential pediatricians tonight.

Read this today:

"Tuesday is the most popular day for babies in the U.S. to be born, with 13,000 births on average in 2003. There are about 16 percent more babies born on Tuesday than on any other day of the week. "

Tomorrow is Tuesday, baby (hint, hint...)!

Boo. No "leapling."

No baby today.

At least not yet, anyway. Went to doc this morning, and there has not been any progress since last week. But, she did tell me who the on-call doctor was this weekend...

We'll see what happens...

(C'mon baby, we are STILL ready for you!)

Last "Childbirth Class" today

Oh boy...

So, we have our last childbirth class today, which we REALLY don't want to go to. They are from 6:30-9:00pm, every Tues. night for a month. Jason almost always falls asleep, or at least "threatens" to.

Tonight is C-section info., class review, and evaluations. Sounds like it will be riveting. I am just glad they have big comfy bean bag chairs for the mamas.

After this, we are ready. C'mon out whenever you want, baby!

Ready for Baby!

Happy Monday morning, all!

As of Friday, the doctor told us we were 3 cm dilated and 50% effaced, then asked if we had the after hours phone number.

So, of course, Jason immediately asked, "So, that means he could come any day now?"

Doc said, "Yes, but don't look for it, or it will drive you crazy!" She said that mom needed to get some rest over the weekend, so I did.

I am doing good, at work today, baby still kicking his favorite spot (OUCH!), and am just trying to make it through the week.

We (think we) are ready for baby!
