I went to the doctor for my 39 week appointment on Friday. She informed me that I am dilated to 4 cm! Wow! For the past month I've been saying that I did not really want to be induced just because I wanted to experience the whole "don't know where I'll be when I got into labor, gotta rush to the hospital" feeling. When I talked with my wonderful doctor about this, I got a little nervous! She really helped me realize that I'm almost half way through labor! She said that at the slightest ounce of pain, I needed to rush to the hospital. Not only do we not want to have a baby in the car, I also do not want to have a baby without an epidural. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad, but I really don't want to find out! So, needless to say, I'm scheduled for an induction on Wednesday, March 21. My doctor said I could pick any day, but Wednesday is the day she's working. Having an induction date has put me more at ease... there's a light at the end of the tunnel! I can walk into the hospital calmly and get the fluids I need and an epidural before my body reaches the 'point of no return'. Now that I have it all planned out, Hagen will probably come on his own before then! We are so excited to meet him!!!!!!
Lyla Grace is growing too fast! She continues to be the most fun person I know. She says such funny things and acts entirely too cute! I can't wait to see how she reacts with the new baby. Here are a couple recent photos of her:
This is her and cousin "Zozey" (she puts that extra Z in there which is adorable!). We took the kids to Bass Pro Shops for a kid day they had last weekend. Look at her pigtails!!!!!!!!
Here she is one morning after I got her dressed. Whenever I kneel down to take her picture, she kneels down too. :)
