35 weeks + some change

So, there is big news on the home front. Let me start with the standard stuff. We are both doing great! I had my final ultrasound on Wednesday and he is looking wonderful, weighing in at 5 lbs 11 oz, and about 19 inches long. The ultrasound tech told us that she could see some hair on his head and I am very excited about that. He is definitely running out of room very fast because his movements no longer tickle inside, and sometimes they are down right painful. I find myself trying to coax him out of my ribs SEVERAL times a day. I am also a proud new member of the "I am sick of being pregnant" club. There are several joining requirements that include:

-itchy stomach (enough said)

-inability to sleep for longer than 1 hour at a time

-having to pee every 15 minutes

-having to pee every 15 minutes, but only able to pee 1 mil at a time

-inability to put on pants/shorts

- "" "" socks/shoes

-inability to to get off the couch (or the bed) without assistance



As much as I hate all of the above mentioned things, I am above all else grateful that I get to be this miserable for such a great gift at the end.



Now on to the big news (drum roll please..................................) We have an induction date!!!!



On Thursday, September 24th at 6:00 pm we go to the hospital to be induced. They have explained this procedure to me as.....

Step one: Arrive, Get admitted, IV's and blood work and all that

Step two: Get a medication called Cervadil, this is suppose to soften my cervix and get it ready for labor

Step three: 12 hours after Cervadil is placed, they will start Pitocin (this is the one that actually "brings the pain")

Step four : Wait........

Step five : Give birth to a sweet baby boy!



See it is only 5 steps it can't be THAT bad......right :/



My doctor has told me that the 25th will be his birthday, no matter what. If the induction doesn't work, then I will have a C-Section on that day.



So, the countdown is officially on! We will be meeting our little boy in 19 days.

We are so excited!!
