Holy crap! Thursdsy is right around the corner!

Saw my doctor today! I'm 38+5 and we'll be starting the induction process on Wednesday.

They're putting a catheter balloon inside me that will dilate my cervix 3 cm so that when I go in at 7:00am on thursday my cervix is ready and they can start the pitocin.

I'm kind of bummed because I really wanted to go naturally, but some concerns have been raised so this is the safer option.

Either way, I get to meet my daughter in three days! Words cannot express my excitement. :-D :-D :-D
