It's official...three more days!

I had my appointment today and the m/w checked my cervix to see if they could induce me on Friday. I am 50% effaced and dilated about a figertip. The baby is at -2 station so I don't think there's much chance of him flipping breech again between now and Friday. I'm going in on Thursday night to start Cytotek(sp?) to ripen my cervix and hopefully all will be good to induce on Friday. The m/w estimated that he's about 8 lbs. After 2 5lb babies, that sounds a little scary! But I know I can do it! She also stripped my membranes (the best she could since I'm not dilated very much) and the contractions have REALLY picked up since then. They're getting much more intense and they're now coming every 10-15 minutes.

So, the bottom line is, I'm going to have my baby this weekend!!! That seems so crazy to me but I'm so anxious to see him and hold him. DH is getting into town tomorrow night and my parents are coming in Thursday night. I'll be sure to post the birth story and pics as soon as I get home from the hospital (sooner if MIL brings her laptop to the hospital with her).

 

Wow, can't wait to read your birth story!! You think you'll make it to the weekend?

 

Oh, how exciting! Can't wait to hear all about it! Take care!

 

Congratulations Aubrey! I hope things progress perfectly for you and you have a wonderful birth.

 

That is awesome! Can't wait to hear the birth story!
