It’s what you’ve been waiting for…

October29

I had a lot of plans for tonight involving dinner with friends, meeting with my accountability group and maybe even catching up on the 127 emails currently residing in my inbox.

But one little doctor’s appointment complete with exam and an unexpected sonogram this morning changed all that within a matter of moments.

Instead I’ll be making sure the car seat is properly installed, the hospital bag in the car and Roomie is resting soundly.

‘Cause tomorrow morning? WE’RE BEING INDUCED!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Just so you know, the doctor told us there is a high chance that the first round of drugs won’t cause Roomie to go into labor and that we could be waiting several days before Baby makes his appearance. When we’re definitely in labor and seeing something happen, I’ll put up something to let you know that there’s actual labor happening!)

(Also: I am very, very excited.)

(And still trying to decide how to fix my hair for The Morning ‘O Induction.)

(I’m leaning towards curly and bouncy.)

(Don’t worry: I’ll keep you informed on the baby. And, obvs, my hair.)

    OH yeah, Have Roomie eat good tonight. If they’re having her fast tomorrow, It could be awhile before she eats.

    Ditto on the updo for hair. Birth can be, well, messy. And waiting during an induction? LONG. But I am going to be praying for Roomie (and you of course) like crazy! God bless you!

    Excited, excited, excited! Oh, that’s me. ;)

    Bouncy is great, but make sure you bring something to pull it back after you’ve been waiting around the hospital hours and hours!

    i’ll be praying! and may i add… the Dr is right. the first round of drugs didn’t work for me. neither did the 2nd round. neither did the 3rd round…. and on day 4… there was a baby born!

    good luck and we are all thinking and praying for all of you!

    curly and bouncy??? I think ponytail so roomie doesn’t have anything to easily grab on to during a contraction…
