Big News :D :D

We had a very interesting doctor appointment today. Nothing had changed, I am still only 1 cm dilated so while we are still in the clear as far as baby size, they have decided to start the induction process tomorrow afternoon. Matt and I will be going to the hospital at 3:00pm to get settled into a room. After my OB's office closes at 5:00pm one of my midwives will be coming by the hospital to insert a pill that will help my cervix soften. The pill will be administered every four hours until sometime the next day (wed). After my OB's office closes on Wednesday evening at 5:00pm my main midwife will be coming by the hospital to start me on pitocin in my IV to get contractions going. Thursday, if nothing is progressing and/or they stop the pitocin and my contractions stop, they will give me a good meal, and send me home. If that happens we will try again Monday or so next week. The main reasons for doing this is because we aren't in a rush YET to have a C-section. The gestational diabetes is of course the factor in this. The longer I'm pregnant, the more of a chance that I'll need a C-section. Next week, we will be in more of a rush to get the baby out because of "baby size". So we may or may not have a baby by the end of the week :)

On a more fun and less stressful and anxiety ridden note, my mom finished making the curtains and we got them put up in the baby's room:

Mom did a really good job, I know it wasn't easy to get these done. Thanks mom!

My friend Crystal bought and brought over our new crib on Saturday. Sunday afternoon Matt and I put it together:

Thanks to my sister, Jody we have the crib sheets and skirt. Matt's mom, Susan made the quilt hanging on the back. We are super excited that the nursery is done! Just in the nick of time too...

So we will try and keep this blog updated and things progress while we are in the hospital. We will be in the hospital for AT LEAST three days just getting things going, so we will have plenty of time to blog and be online while we are waiting. Thanks to everyone who has commented on the last post! Your words helped!!
