24 hours and counting

Well my doctor told me that we will be inducing Monday, December 5th if he is not here prior. Well, it's Sunday afternoon and Chance is still not here and Al is going to take me into Labor and Delivery in about 4 hours. I'll check in this evening to St. Paul and they will start the inducing process tomorrow morning. It is crazy that we will be holding our little baby boy tomorrow. I think that I am as prepared as I can be at this point. It has been so funny receiving so many phone calls from friends and family asking me if I have gone into labor yet, so I have just started answering the phone "I'm still pregnant." I have compiled all the photos that I took with my phone throughout my pregnancy and typically would never post pictures of myself but I figure why not. I never got around to taking maternity photos so these will just have to do. I just hope that I am able to take off this weight faster than I put it on.

 So I apologize in advance for the scatter of my belly all over this blog (what a sight to see) but this blog would not allow me to post them right and make it look pretty. I am hoping that I can get one last photo tomorrow morning at 41 weeks and add that one soon.
I have been feeling pretty good  about everything as far as delivery until the other night, started having slight anxiety about it. Not about anything going wrong but just what all is going to happen with inducing. I have heard once the pitocin is injected everything goes by really quickly, but for my sister and nephew it was (if I remember correctly) an emergency c-section right after because Jack's heart rate dropped. Other the other end, my neighbor across the street said she delivered 15 hours later after receiving the pitocin. I guess all is up in the air from here. Regardless of it all I am so over the moon about finally meeting our son, he is truly already such a blessing in my heart! I am so thrilled and excited about being a mother, and I know Al feels and has said he is ready and excited to be a father.

Wish us luck!
