36 & 37.. and baby news!


so big news today that i was not expecting at all. i had my doctor's appointment this morning and i was sitting in the waiting room thinking "this is my second to last doctor's visit before baby comes". i go into see the doctor he checks and measures me and then says to me "so how do you feel about being induced next wednesday?" what!?!?!? it got 100 degrees hotter in the room instantly.
he reason you ask? long story short baby and me have not grown in the last few weeks. he thinks it will be best to go ahead and deliever her a little early to be safe. so next wednesday at 6 am it is. i have to spend tuesday night in the hospital because i am not dialated. he is giving me cervidil(spelling?) to dialate me and then at 6 am i will be ready to rock in roll (i will be a nervous cat by then!). i have been having real {not bhicks contractions} this week and they have been 3 minutes apart lasting for 45 minutes - 1 hour. so he said since i am starting to have those and the fact that i haven't grown much he wants to get the show on the road.
ok, works for me. but not going to lie... i have been a little sidetracked, and off my game today because i can't stop thinking about the fact that one week from today i will be in the hospital in labor. i am excited and nervous all at the same. daddy rob is feeling the same way but we will figure it out.. right?
anyways, that's the latest with baby pojo and us!
and here are the latest photos of the "bump"...
