Well, D-day came and went and aside from some random contractions, not much has happened since Friday. However, we did have a false alarm and went to the hospital on Saturday night, but sent back home. Disappointing, but not surprising. We did discover that instead of a duffel bag, I should repack into a rolling suitcase so Mr. F does have to lug my bad all the way to the hospital (we live close enough to walk there). Today I had another appointment and no change since last week, which is a bummer and the raspberry tea did NOTHING, nor did all the walking or any other suggested method. However, my Dr. has decided to schedule me for an induction Wed night/Thursday morning, which means Aiden will be here around dinner on Thursday (he has 48 hrs to do it on his own)! The plan is to admit me on Wednesday night and start the pitocin on Thurs morning. I am def having mixed feelings about this because I really want to go naturally and I've heard terrible things about pitocin induced labor. BUT, knowing when he's coming will make going to the hospital more relaxing and our parents can just plan to come up on Friday. Not to mention, Mr. F will get a 4 day weekend! :)
This weekend was also great because we got one last grocery trip in, did all the laundry and had some people over for chips and salsa while we watched the Giants win!
Its so strange, every once in awhile Mr. F and I look at eachother and ask "Are you ready for all of this?" and it hits us at different times that our family is taking shape. Its so hard to put into words the variety of emotions conjured up each time, but suffice it to say that we are beyond excited and so ready to meet this little man.
I've learned so much about life through this whole process of being pregnant and I'm sure the lessons are just getting started. The one thing I know for sure is that I have an amazing husband and partner and there is no way I'd want to do any of this without him. I am a very blessed woman, and I know it.
