One day til D-Day

Little known fact, tomorrow is D-Day and what I'm calling my D-Day, "Delivery Day." We'll hopefully that is ; )

This morning was very, very long. Josh and I had a wonderful breakfast together at Panera Bread, then headed off to the doctor at 9:45am, and did not get home until 12:30pm! Josh did well for the most part, but we had one or two moments where I the volume level got loud. From him, not me.

I was warned that appointments with this one doctor often ran late, but I was optimistic since it was a morning appointment. So, I still question- should I have brought Josh or not? Well, the day is done. We're back home now. We all had naps, so all is well : ) But, I could have used some relief earlier this morning. Fortunately there was another little girl, 13 months old, that Josh got to converse with. She even blew him kisses. It was so cute!

I am presently 75% effaced and have dilated 3 cm. We got to see Rachel and she is doing great. From the ultrasound they estimate she is about 7 lbs and 3 ozs. (about what I was expecting). In my meeting with the doctor he mentioned how I am favorable for an induction and that nothing good comes from a baby past 40 weeks except delivery. So, I went ahead and scheduled an induction for Monday, but am still hestitant about this decision for several reasons. One, I really would like Rachel to come naturally and in God's timing. Second, if I am scheduling I would like to choose a specific doctor and the one I prefer is not one call until later next week. So... we will see.

Please continue to pray for a successful, healthy, and soon delivery. A friend mentioned how Saturday would be a cool date and I am all about that since it would be very easy to remember. So, if you want to know what day I'm shooting for it's June 7th, 2008= 06-07-08

Off to go enjoy a dinner out with my boys. We are going to P.F. Chang's and I'm going to get Spicy eggplant. I like it and hope it will help with delivery. It's a safe and good effort at least.
