I had an appointment this morning. I was late due to a dome light in the van being left on. I had to flag down a random neighbor to give our van a jump so I could get to the appointment. The man I found ended up not speaking English, but after some charades he figured out my problem and agreed to come over and help. I've got some pumpkin bread in the oven for him as a thank you.
Anyway I finally got to the doctors and here is the scoop. I am currently (for the third week now) dilated at a 1. Because this is a VBAC (Vaginal Birth After Cesarean) I need to be dilated to at least a 3 in order for him to induce me. All his inducements and surgeries are scheduled on Fridays. So if I'm favorable at my next appointment then I could have this baby on the 3rd! If not I have till the 10th to get favorable or go into labor myself otherwise I'm going under the knife. Cesarean is not our first choice, but we are thankful for anyway way a child and mother can safely get through the birthing process.
My mom comes out this Wednesday and will be here till the 20 something of the month. So we will have lots of help. Poor Kevin has a ton of tests around the week that we are due and I'm not sure how he is going to do it yet. Jared has Spring Break the week of the 6th so that will be nice to have him home and not have to worry about getting him back and forth to school and home. Anna is super excited to be a big sister and continues to give us baby name advice. She has moved away from Isabella and turned to more sophisticated names like "Table", "Chair", "Spoon", or whatever else she has in her line of sight. I'm pretty sore in my back and joints due to all the extra weight I'm carrying and my ribs are getting quit the beating, but I'm not complaining. At least not yet. Ask me how I'm doing in about 10 days.
