D-Day

Today is D-day, not doomsday but due day! Aaron swore that this baby would be born over the weekend or at the latest today because this baby has some of him and he's never late for anything, but I reminded him that this baby also has some of me and I can be late at times :)

We were both a little anxious going into the appointment, wanting to know if anything had happened since the last appointment and to see what the doctor would say. I think my anticipation kept me awake through part of the night, so I might have to take a nap this afternoon :) After we sat through our normal Biophysical Test (ultrasound) and Non-stress test, which baby passed with flying colors of course!, we finally met with the doctor. Things had progressed since last week (thank goodness!) and my cervix is now (finally) favorable for them to induce. So we scheduled the D-day (delivery day) for Thursday. We're scheduled to arrive at the hospital on Thursday morning at 6 am at which point they'll do a little bit of blood work, break my water and then get the pitosin going. So it sounds like the baby's B-day will be November 6...

There's still a chance that I could go into labor before then, but from the sounds of it, baby will be born on Thursday. So between now and then we'll try to enjoy our last few days of just us, the gorgeous fall weather we're having (72 is the forecasted high today), and continue to prepare ourselves for baby's arrival. Our next post on the blog will probably be sometime Thursday or Friday; we will finally reveal all the secrets - boy or girl, name, size, etc. We look forward to meeting this little one and for all of you to meet him/her as well!
