Let's birth us a baby!

So a funny thing happened at the doctors office today. My doctor was checking my cervix and it felt like he was in there up to his elbows. He smiled and me and said "Are you doing anything tomorrow?" For a second I thought that he was so impressed with the condition of my cervix that he was asking me out. Because some guys are really into that. Turns out he was asking if I was available to be induced.

I'm having a baby tomorrow.

Today was my 38 week check up and for the 4th week in a row my blood pressure was a little high. Not dangerously high or high enough to make my doc think I have pre-eclampsia or anything but s little high. That combined with the facts that I've got a good start on dialating and I'm having tons of contractions made the doctor decide to just go ahead and induce me tomrrow.

Eek!

I have to go in at 5 in the morning tomorrow. The doctor said to expect a good 8-10 hours on the pitocin and then he'll break my water. It'll probably be a bit of a long haul tomorrow but I'm ok with that. Jesse will be there and my wonderful doula will be there and even though I'm a little bit nervous I'm feeling really, really good about this.

J is nervous as can be. I was talking to one of the nurses as I was getting ready to leave the clinc and she asked if he (J) was excited and I said I think that he's too nervous to be excited. I'm hopeful that once he talks to B he'll calm down and for once in this entire pregnancy, enjoy part of the whole process.

So, I'll have Jesse update once this bugger is born. If you've got a second tomorrow, think a good thought for me. I'm gonna have a baby! Ack!
