Still waiting....

It appears as though baby is very comfy in Mommy. I went to the doctor yesterday and I am 60% effaced and 2 cm dilated. So, I have made some progress; however, at this point I am not feeling anything that leads me to believe baby is going to come on his/her own. Other than being tired at times, I feel pretty good. I continue to walk most mornings and can move around the house fairly well to do chores, etc. I have been sticking close to home though in the event that baby decides he/she wants to get this process going a little faster! I am still scheduled to go into the hospital on Sunday night for my induction. The doc said they will bring me in Sunday and then if labor does not start on its own by Monday morning, they will break my water and give me Pitocin to get the contractions going. Wish us luck!!!! Hopefully, my next post will be showing pics of our precious baby finally joining us in the world! :) But for now, you get one last one of me and baby.

Halloween

For Halloween, we went up to Doylestown to see the McGovern girls and their fabulous costumes! Madeline dressed up as a "bloody nurse", Shannon as "Miss Florida", and Sara as Katie Perry. Thank you for letting us spend Halloween with you girls...we had fun! Oh, and we also have a cute redneck that joined our family. Looks like Rich misses living in the south so he had to bring some of the south to PA with us :)

We're almost there!

I had my ultrasound yesterday and baby continues to do well. Baby now weighs 7lbs. 9 ounces (58th percentile) and the heartrate was 130. We didn't really get a great view of the baby's face as he/she was covering the face with his/her hands. Today, I had my weekly appointment with my doctor and she said I am only 1 cm dilated. If I don't go into labor on my own by November 11th, I am scheduled to go in on Sunday, November 14th for an induction. The doctor stated she does not want the baby to stay in me for longer than 41 weeks due to my gestational diabetes. So hopefully, we will have our little miracle here with us by Nov. 15th if not sooner! We will keep you posted if anything else develops. Say some prayers for us that all continues to go well.....thanks!!!!! :)
