Well, I had a blog half written. I was waiting to put in everything we learned from the doctors appointment today. But none of what I had written about matters right now. I apologize for another short blog, but here's what you need to know:
In an hour and a half Kyle and I will be admitted to the hospital and our baby girl will be here tomorrow! Leah's heart rate was great on the monitors, and my fluid levels were perfect. However, during the ultrasound we learned that plus or minus a pound she is 8lbs 11oz. That's a big girl. Always what I wanted, but big. We discussed it thoroughly with the doctor, and while she left the decision up to us - we wanted her advice. With Leah appearing to be going nowhere fast, and in a really stable condition right now she thought it best that we induce tonight.
Inducing was not in my plan. But everything she said made complete sense, and it sounds the healthiest for Leah (and myself). If you pray, please do so. I'm a tad overwhelmed. As prepared as I think we are, there is nothing like hearing you have to be at the hospital in an hour and you're going to have a baby tomorrow.
Overwhelmed as I may be, I am also so excited - I saw her on an ultrasound today and couldn't get enough! I can't wait to see her in color - and give those big cheeks she has a kiss!
I have wished for weeks that I would go to a doctors appointment and she would just send me to the hospital... and well, be careful what you wish for!
