Scheduled to be Induced

I just got back from the doctor's office this morning, and he has mercifully scheduled me to be induced tonight at 9. Dwayne and I will arrive at the hospital by 8:30pm. The Taylor Tot was due a week ago today.

I think Dr. Kwon knew, before he ever set foot in the room that he was going to induce me. He has been saying all along that he didn't want to wait too long or let her get too big. He did a quick exam and then said, "That's it. You're ready. We've been patient, but it's time to get this show on the road."

I feel so relieved to have an end to the waiting. This past week has been miserable. I've been having contractions almost every night, but they never progressed into labor. However, they've been strong enough to keep me up at night, and keep me constantly on the edge of my seat wondering "Is this it? Is this it?"

I had hoped to go into labor naturally, but after a week of sleep deprivation, and constant anticipation, I'm excited to go to the hospital tonight!

Lord willing - the next time I blog, I will be showing you all a picture of our baby.
