39- Week Update on Peanut

Well, here we are week 39 and still no Peanut....... We did go to the Doctor yesterday and saw a glimer of hope and light at the end of this journey. I've made a little progress .5 cm dilated compared to last weeks 0 cm. (YIPPY) Our Doctor suggested that if nothing happens this week naturally that she would go ahead and schedule to start the inducing process on Sunday night ( 7:00 pm check-in) Sunday night if not much has changed, they will give me a drug to help prepare me for the process of induction. Then on Monday morning they will start the actual drug for the induction. So our little "Peanut" will enter this world at somepoint on Monday or Tuesday of next week.

Are we ready you ask?????? I think so, the news of the induction hit me with a flurry of nerves and excitment, but I'm READY....... It's been such an easy pregnancy, ( no morning sickness, very little moodyness, or complaining ) but my new favorite thing is laying on the couch each night watching my stomach make waves... I will have to say I'm going to miss that part of the day. Greg and the nurse yesterday got a kick out of Peanut and his big movements while trying to nail down his heart beat. The littl stinker wanted nothing to do with that, and kept wiggling around. She finally gave up and said, he sure is moving alot- must be a healthy one. But overall we're both ready for this part of the journey to end, and the next phase of life to being. We've taken the classes, read the books, packed our bag, and double checked our lists... So let's get this show on the road.......

We ( Greg) will be keeping you all updated this next week- as our progress continues.......
