The Story on Morning Glory

Jack must really like it in there...he's quite comfortable and content! Not that that's a bad sign, maybe he's just a laid back kind of baby, who's just fine wherever he is! He doesn't mind just hanging out. That could be good, right?

So we went to the doctor yesterday to check in. She measured, poked, prodded, ultrasounded...and then she asked me if I wanted to go to the hospital today and have Jack before the weekend. What? Wow, that was quick! I was a little taken off guard! I think my heart might have started pounding! The other choice was to wait through the weekend, give Jack a little more time, and tentatively schedule the induction for Monday. That sounds a little better to me. You can't just spring something like going to the hospital and having a baby that day on someone! If there were complications, then sure! Not that we didn't have our bags packed, the car seat fastened in and our green monogrammed pillowcased pillows ready...and in the car...but that was just in case! Not because we'd really need them!!

But he's just fine...will that be my attitude with Jack? "You're just fine, you'll be ok"? Hmmmm...interesting.

Anyways, that's the plan. Go to the doctor on Monday morning, check things out, then head to the hospital on Monday night, sleep with some medicine thing to soften the cervix even more, then start the pitocin on Tuesday, and Tuesday will be his birthday!

My prediction? I'll go into labor either Sunday night or Monday between the doctor's appointment and when we're supposed to be at the hospital. I'm just saying...
