Wow, I can't believe it's time. It's gone pretty fast. But not too fast. I think the thing I will miss the most is the feeling of the baby moving in my tummy. That is pretty cool. So I will miss that. But I'm ready to have him on the outside.
I go in Thursday afternoon and Dr. Martin will put a foley catheter into my cervix to help open it up. Then we go in to the hospital at midnight that night and they will start the petocin to induce labor.
There is a part of me that wishes I would just naturally go into labor, but I'm only dialated about 1 cm so far so it looks like inducing will be the best bet. Doc says that babies in a Gestational Diabetes situation tend to have larger shoulders, so we really don't want to let him get to big so I can deliver him normally.
If all goes well, the baby will be here sometime on Friday! Can't wait!
