I Can't Believe It's Here.....

Well, we are heading to the hospital this evening around 5 to start the induction process. Tonight, I will be given a drug to soften my cervix and if that doesn't put me into labor, they will start Pitosin (sp?) early Wednesday morning. I can't believe we're going to get to have a baby some time tomorrow....well, I'm hoping it's tomorrow and not after midnight into Thursday, yikes!

I'm beginning to get nervous about the whole labor process. I really don't remember much from our childbirth class but I feel sure the nurses will help me through it....especially since they see it happen every day, sometimes several times a day! I have heard great things about the nurses at St. Johns and how they are very patient and thorough so that definitely puts me at ease.

Brad's mom and Dennis will be coming in early tomorrow morning and my mom is heading in today to keep an eye on things around our house and stay with Dixie while we're at the hospital. My dad and Brad's dad will be in Atlanta. We'll miss them very much but they'll be able to see her soon. Of course, we'll get pictures and phone calls out to them asap. I am hoping that she won't keep her Tulsa greeters waiting long. I am very anxious for her to meet her wonderful grandparents who have all been so kind to help us get ready for her arrival....and who have been patiently waiting almost as anxiously as we have!!! She's a lucky little gal!

Well, I better get back to the ironing...Brad's going to need some wrinkle-free clothes in the coming days and weeks and I have a feeling that neither one of us will have much time (or desire) for that kind of thing very soon.

Hope you're all having a great week! We'll talk to you soon!
