37 weeks and a big belly!


We have now begun the 25 day countdown. I am trying to stay busy so that I don't think about how much longer there is. I am now seeing the doctor every week and last time I saw him I was 50% effaced. I was disappointed because I was hoping to be a least a little dilated. The official plan is that unless the baby comes early I will be induced on Sept. 17th. My doctor is awesome and he is letting us plan the induction so that my mom can better plan her work schedule in order to be here for the delivery. He said the only reason he would not induce me is if my cervix is still closed and there is not really any progress, because if that is the case the induction medicine might not work. In one way I really want my baby to come early but in another way I don't because if he does come early my mom will not be able to come because of her work and other commitments she has. I really only want my mom and Mike in the delivery room but if my mom can't make it then I guess it only going to be Mike. So that is the update for now, love you all!
