Wiling away the hours...
I was petrified going into Thursday's OB appointment, scared that there would be no progress from my last exam three weeks ago because I swore up and down that I was having absolutely no contractions. Never even noticed a Braxton Hicks.
I was pleasantly surprised to learn that I would indeed be able to schedule my induction because I am 2 centimenters dilated, 80% effaced, soft, anterior cervix and LC is at a 0 station. So unless she comes on her own - we are scheduled to go in for an induction the day after my due date - Thursday, 2/22 at 7:30 am.
To pass the time this afternoon (and quite enjoyably I add), Himself and I ventured into the land of "Our Future Life" and went to Lily's 1st birthday. Witness the glimpses into my future? Mind boggling, really to see kids everywhere. I swear they are like little Mogwai a la Gremlins - you see one at your feet, then you turn your head and 4 more appear. Anyways, Happy Birthday Lily - you've been a great motivator with your silly smiles and awesome dance moves to help me muster through HG and get to my own February little girl.
Lily's Mom, Lora will be updating my blog when Leah Catherine makes her much anticipated debut. So we're counting down here...
Good luck with the delivery! I'll be thinking about you on Thursday.

great news. I hope LC decides to show up a bit early for you so you have that much less time in HG hell. Hoping for a smooth and uncomplicated delivery. Something's gotta be easy for this pg, right???

Yay! I am so excited the time is finally (almost) here. Don't mind me as I obsessively check your blog over the coming days. Wishing you an easy labor and delivery, a natural knack for breastfeeding (both you and LC), a happy baby who's a great sleeper, no nausea and a robust appetite, and a flood of endorphins!!!

Almost there. The anticipation must be terrible and wonderful at once. Or not?

I have been checking all week to see if Leah decided to come early but now tomorrow is the day. I know you must be nervous but I hope everything goes smoothly and that in addition to getting that delicious little girl, you also get immediate relief.

Will be praying for a safe delivery for both baby and momma. What a long, hard road this has been for you. The blessings will far outweigh the hard times you endured. All the best to you!
