Just waiting to be induced

First, I have to add to my previous post. My mother was just as guilty in that purchase as my sister was. They were out shopping together and saw it and thought it was funny. So thanks Mom! But, at least if I do have an ugly child she gets some of the blame right? :)

Ok, now on to my induction! Hip hip hooray! I went to the doctor on Thursday and had a sonogram. The baby is measuring 6 pounds, 13 ounces (yes I know this is just an estimate but it FREAKS ME OUT!). So, because my labor with Brett was so difficult, my doctor is willing to induce me on the 29th. This is only 4 days before my due date so that's really not that bad. Brett was born 1 day before his due date. I'm happy about this. It'll be nice to share January with my little girl for our birthday month. I always shared it with my dad and loved that. I guess I'm just strange that way.

I've been having tons of Braxton-Hicks contractions and am feeling extremely uncomfortable. However, I'd be totally shocked if I actually went into labor rather than being induced. I just don't think it's going to happen. So, just expect this little one to come on the 29th. I'll be sending a photo to my friend Adrienne and then she is going to email everyone with the baby's info when she is born. As long as we're feeling good we're happy to have visitors. That will be in the email.

I'm just trying to get all my last minute work done before the baby comes. Maybe she's just waiting until all that is done before she comes! I'd better get it done then. Off to work now. Happy MLK Day! (We're excited because Lance gets the day off so it's a reason to celebrate - and he really was a good man with a good cause.)

I am going to be surprise if you don't have that baby this week. There is no way she is waiting to be induced next week. She is ready now! I am nesting at work so I can be ready too!! LOL!!
