Baby Boy Update

I went to the doctor today. I received some good news and bad news.

Bad news first: He said I'm not really a prime candidate for induction because I'm HARDLY dilated and some other stuff I won't write about because it's all medical and borderline gross.

Good News: The doctor was sympathetic to my situation (knowing my mom is only here until Sunday) and said if nothing happens by Friday, he will induce me then. He also informed me that this baby could come before Friday, because you just never know what might happen. He also suspects I'll dilate more before then. We're hoping our son will make his debut before I have to be induced so my mom can have a little more time helping me out with two kids at home, but we'll take what we can get at this point.

I have a feeling we'll be welcoming our son into the world on Friday. He's just too comfortable in there. I also suspect this little guy will be a lot like his daddy. Meaning: He already knows how to push my buttons. :)

So. . . hopefully by Friday afternoon/night we'll be the parents of two and Tralee will be a big sister. Wish us luck!

Oh yeah, keep sending labor-inducing thoughts my way if you please. It couldn't hurt.

I heard if you stimulate your nipples for just 3 hours a day, it could put you into labor. So start rubbing!! Ha ha! Good luck though, I know it's not funny when you are ready to go.

I will do the "African Baby Come out dance" for you. :) actually it is just one that my crazy sister in laws made up when someone was having a baby. Now we do it at every birth! Imagine me getting my jig on for you!!
