Date set for induction

The date for induction has finally been set. I will be induce next Saturday morning on January 10th. We are very excited to finally have a date to look forward to. Dr. B will be on call all of next weekend so we are very excited. She came in this morning and told us the good news. She told us that on Friday she will come in and check my cervix to see if I am dilated and to see if the cervix is softening out any. If I am not dilated to 3cm at that time they will send me to labor and delivery on Friday night to begin cervidil to ripen the cervix. They will then begin administering pitocin on Saturday morning early and either Saturday evening or Sunday morning we will have our little bundle of joy. Hopefully labor will go by quickly and I can deliver him on Saturday. As long as everything goes well with the induction and I am able to have a normal delivery we will only have to stay for 2 days following delivery. If they would have to do a c-section then I would have to stay either 3 or 4 days after delivery. I am just so excited that we now have a date to look forward too. Of course if the little one decides he is ready before next Saturday that would be okay with me too. Now I just have to find enough activities to keep me busy next week so that the time will fly by. Phillip does start back to work next week so I will be here during the day by myself. He did go out yesterday and buy me some paint and some picture frames but I think I may have to send him back for more. I wish I was more creative with scrapbooking and that would give me something to do but I have never really tried. I guess I could send Phillip out to find some kind of kit that is already put together to help beginners learn. I am just so excited right now that I can hardly stand myself.

Yesterday was an okay day for me. My blood pressure did start getting high around dinner time and stayed up pretty much until I went to bed last night. This morning it was much better. My blood sugars have been great this week. I can still tell when they start getting low but I have been trying to eat all the snacks that they bring so that I do not get to feeling sick. Last night I did not sleep well. I don't know if it was because I was worried about the blood pressures or what it was. I finally decided at 7:30 to just get up. I am fixing to lay back down now for a nap. I hope you all had a very good New Year's day yesterday and again thank you for keeping us in your thoughts and prayers.
