I Should Be Folding Laundry

We got here at 6 AM. Its a quarter after 8 right now and they've given me the I.V., they broke my water, and I've had the epidural. Currently,  I'm at 4 centimeters dilated and 90% effaced. I'll probably make at least one more update before everything is over. Thanks for reading! Mackenzie

So I got a phone call from my hospital confirming my induction tomorrow morning. The lady on the phone said we would get a phone call from them between 5:30 and 7:00 in the morning, letting us know when we can come in to get this whole thing started. She told me I was fourth in line when it comes to a room. I hung up the phone and went about my business for about twenty minutes. Then, I got another call from the lady I had spoken with earlier. She gave me the great news that I got bumped from 4th to 1st in line, so Josh and I get to go in at 6 AM  to start the induction! I am so excited!!! If I remember, I'll make an update or two during labor tomorrow! We can't wait to see our second little guy. Thanks for reading! Mackenzie

How Far Along? 39 weeks Weight Gain? I didn't look... it would be too painful... Maternity Clothes? I've been wearing maternity tops almost all week, but I have hardly worn anything but sweats or pajama bottoms this week. Stretch Marks? My belly has gotten slightly worse and my hips have some new ones... luckily, I deliver the day after tomorrow so I doubt it will get worse from here. Sleep: I've slept okay this week, but my hips have somewhat felt out of place every morning. Best Moment This Week? Getting the confirmation from my doc that Wednesday is baby day! Also, I loved taking my last pregnancy photo!! Worst Moment This Week? My poor hubby got food poisoning on Sunday night and he was horrendously sick all last night. I felt so sad for him, but we were both glad it wasn't on Tuesday night or Wednesday! Movement? Baby has finally slowed down this week, to the point of me going to the hospital to get him monitored since he hardly moves now! I was...

How Far Along? 37 weeks Weight Gain? I'm actually not sure, I didn't want to look at the scale at my last appointment! Maternity Clothes? I'm still wearing XL maternity shirts, and I think as of today, I'm not gonna wear jeans anymore (at least hardly ever) until the baby comes. He's so low that it hurts to wear them. Stretch Marks? Nothing more than I mentioned last week. Sleep? The past few nights, I've actually slept pretty soundly. I've been waking up two or three times a night since I got down to Provo, but the past couple nights, I've only woken up once. Its been fantastic! Best Moment This Week? My mom got Lincoln up, gave him breakfast and hung out with him so I could sleep in a little bit. I didn't actually know that she did that until I got up an hour after him. Thanks Mom!!! Movement? He's been kicking consistently this week, but I think he's running out of room because the movements are a lot less rough than norm...
