Woo hoo! Today was my last appointment!

Well, we had our last trip to the OB's office today. I am so glad that I will no longer be going there three times a week! I am only 1cm dilated and 50% effaced, so there is still a ways to go. If he doesn't come on his own this weekend, then the process of induction begins Tuesday night.

On Tuesday, I will call the Birth Center at 5pm to see if there is room to take me (you don't get a reserved bed with an induction). They will do their best to fit me in since I am being induced for medical reasons. However, if they are full of ladies in labor, there is not much they can do. If they are full, we'll be on standby until they can get us a room.

At any rate, if all goes as planned, I will be admitted Tuesday evening and be given stuff overnight to ripen my cervix. Between 8:30 and 9:30 on Wednesday, the doctor will come to start me on the pitocin and hopefully labor will begin soon after. Depending on how long the labor takes, Baby Daily will make his appearance later that day, or the next.

This is our last weekend of freedom! Weird to think that in 4 more days we'll be in the hospital starting the process of having our baby. WOW!
