Baby Update

I know I have been posting a lot lately, sorry, but I just got back from the doctor and have news!  I am still not progressing too much on my own so they stripped my membranes (sorry for the terminology), which sounds a lot grosser than it actually is.  And I guess my doctor likes to have babies as close to their due date as possible so...I am scheduled for induction on Friday, if it hasn't happened naturally.  I have to go in Thursday night for them to put something on my cervix that gets it ready (?) and then they will start me on pitocin Friday morning.  I can't believe this is actually happening, it is so crazy.  I will for sure have my baby by Friday (hopefully my labor doesn't go into Saturday).  Anyway, wish me luck, and if you didn't see the post below be sure to check it out.

**New update:  They moved me up, so now I am going in tomorrow night and getting induced Thursday.  This is seriously so exciting/scary/crazy!!

Good luck Ginny. I am so excited for you. You'll do great. My only advice is to be flexible because things don't always go as planned....but be sure to enjoy the hospital stay and ask the nurses TONS of questions. It will be so great! I can't wait to hear about it and compare stories!

GOOD LUCK!!

After 9 long months, this is the BEST part. I'm very excited for you guys!!

Yay Ginny!! Hopefully now you will start contracting on your own before Thursday...because pitocin contractions are harder and stronger than your own natural contractions. But it does its job!! And the gel stuff they squirt up there just softens the cervix and helps get things going as far as thinning out and dilating. Good Luck, it's all worth it to be able to hold your baby afterwards!!

You'll be in our prayers all weekend long! (And no matter how bad or scary it may seem, a) it's not that bad, and b) it's over and done with in a matter of hours. Plus, you get the most adorable child in the world out of it: Yours.) GO, GINNY!!!
