ONE WEEK!!

This last week has been REALLY. LONG.  But I survived it and today was FINALLY able to schedule my inducement date!!!!!

It feels so so so so good to be done with doctor's appointments and differing opinions and non-stress tests and know that the next time I go to the hospital, it will be to have my baby!!

Only one week left.  I am scheduled to be induced on Thursday, September 13th!  I am very happy about this day.  Ethan's birthday is also the 13th, so it will be fun to have both my boys have their birthdays on the 13th.  And Thursdays are really the most convenient day for Todd and time off work too, so that's also really great.

I'll be 38 weeks, 2 days.  Not a day too early in my book!  I was so worried my doctor wouldn't let me be induced until 39 weeks, but I think he decided to have mercy on me.  He said he realizes how emotionally stressful a pregnancy like this can be and that also had to be taken into account.  Thank you!

But overall, what a blessing this pregnancy has turned out to be.  All the scariest things never happened, and my baby seems as healthy as can be.  Thank you to those who have had us in your prayers.

I'll be so glad when he's here.  So glad to see he's healthy.  I can totally make it one more week!

. . . unless he decides on his own to come sooner . . . with the number of contractions I'm having, it's probably not too crazy a thought, and really, I don't think I'd mind.  :)
