This is THE week!!! By Friday you will be here. Your daddy and I are so excited. We have spent the week getting ready for you (even though we have been ready for quite some time now). We feel, everyday, there are little things we are forgetting. I really think it is your mommy more than your daddy and I am driving him crazy with all the things I keep telling him I think we will need at the hospital.
Monday I went to the doctor for the last time. She told us we would get induced and to be at the hospital at 5 a.m. on Friday, November 30. She checked me again and told me I was still only 2 cm dilated and you were very posterior. She also stripped my membranes in hopes that this would make you come on your own. When we were leaving she told us she would see us on Friday if you didn't decided to come earlier (she really thinks you will be here before Friday).
The remainder of the week I spent cleaning the house and doing small things to make sure when you got here everything would be ready.
Thursday night your daddy and I decided we would go get something to eat and finish getting everything put in the car. We went to Subway to have one last meal (for me) before you came. We called all our family to get them excited about tomorrow and let them know (for the ones that couldn't come) we would keep them updated throughout the day about how you progressed. We decided that we didn't really want any family to come until around lunch on Friday in hopes that after we got there, got checked in, and had all the "tests" done, we would be able to get some rest while they loaded me up on pitocin to get my labor good and started.
After dinner, your daddy and I came home and had to make the bed and get some things put up since we would be at the hospital for the next couple of days. As we were making the bed (and your daddy was in the closet putting some things up) I yelled "uh-oh." Your daddy poked his head out of the closet and said, "What?" I told him I thought my water had broken. As we stood there staring at each other I decided that I would finish making the bed and see if that is what had really happened. Unfortunately, I didn't finish making the bed because my water did indeed break!! I just stood in the bedroom looking around while your daddy was running around like a mad man! I wish we had a video of this time, because it would provide you with a lot of laughter later on! Needless to say, all that planning was now out the window and we were quickly on our way to the hospital.
Here is one last picture of Mommy pregnant. It is a little blurry (we were trying to figure out the new camera, but it's the last picture we took). You can see the bed isn't made and that is what I was getting ready to do!
Stay tuned...next post....labor and delivery!
Love,
Mommy
