The Big Day

I just wanted to let everyone know that tomorrow is the big day. Since Travis will be with me at the hospital the whole time, I'll be having him to post pictures of the baby once we are home.

My dr. appt. went well yesterday though. The nurse threw away my pee cup! I told her that I wanted to burn the thing. She said, "And I didn't even give you the satisfaction of throwing it away yourself, did I." Believe me, I wanted that satisfaction! So that made me feel that alittle bit of closure was coming to the pregnancy. It was weird. The baby is still doing great. And I did make some progress on my own over the weekend. I am 85% effaced, and almost dilated to 3 cm. I was really hoping that I would be able to go in today to have the baby, but the dr. explained that she had some meeting that she really did not want to miss today, so being the nice, understanding (even though I'm extremely uncomfortable) person that I am, I agreed to do it on Thursday. And plus it is probably better that Travis and I have the day to process what's about to happen. She even went into detail about the induction process and what I should expect to happen and about when. It really took away some of the unknown factor that was really stressing me out. Travis, bless his heart, I'm not sure how he's handling things. The reality that he will be a father tomorrow is setting in on him. For me, either I'm ok with everything, or it hasn't hit me yet. I'm not sure which. I am just trying to go with things without thinking too much.

Thank you to everyone for your thoughts and prayers. I'm hoping to have some pictures of the baby to show soon!

I will be thinking about you, Travis and your baby boy! We will actually be at the hospital in the morning for Rylan's ped appt. It's going to be so hard for me not to sneak in, but I will wait like everyone else. :-) Sending positive thoughts, prayers, and a well working epidural your way! HUGS!!!
