Mark Your Calendars!

Well folks, looks like Brinley's birthday will be Wednesday, June 10th! It's so crazy to me that we can plan on it that way- modern medicine is amazing. I went to my doctor's appointment today and found that nothing had changed. No dilation, effacement, or dropping past what I had already been for the past 3 weeks. My doctor said that we could go ahead and induce and we feel like that is the best option. He said we could wait another week if we wanted to but he would most definitely induce next week. I know how frustrated I would be waiting another week, so I am just going to go for it. It might be the worst decision of my life, but I trust that God has a plan in all of this.
This next paragraph might be TMI for some of you, so you might want to skip over it. But for those of you who don't mind juicy details, eat your heart out.
I will go in tomorrow morning and have a foley catheter placed on my cervix. They will inflate a balloon that will hopefully get my cervix dialating. I will go home for the day with a nice little tail, then return to the hospital tomorrow night to begin the induction process. Ideally, I will have a little pitocin drip, things will get going on their own and I will have a baby by Wednesday morning. There are alot of other scenarios, but let's just focus on that positive one for now, kay??The doc insured me that we will have a baby on Wednesday, so let's just plan on the morning!
I am presently scared out of my mind about what is going to happen. I have heard lots of induction stories, good and bad, and I just don't know what to think. I am frustrated with my body and I hate feeling like I am making the decision of when she is to come or forcing her to come. But, regardless, I still think it is the right decision for us. Rocky will start at Parkland Hospital in July and his life is going to get pretty crazy. I want him to have as much time with Brinley and I as possible so the sooner she gets here, the better. This was not in my original plan but really nothing in this pregnancy has been!
Please pray that I will have a peace about this process, that it will go smoothly, and that my body would cooperate for the first time in 9 months! I will update the blog as much as possible- thanks for the love and support!
