The Light At The End of The Tunnel

It is true...we can finally see the light. After 38 weeks and 5 days we have confirmation that the end is near. I had my doctor appointment today and yet again I was NOT dilated...at all. I didn't freak out, just wondered what in the world was wrong with me. Dr. R told me it was totally normal, especially since this is my first. At any rate, he went to make a phone call and when he came back told us to be in Labor and Delivery at 4pm on Monday, that is of course if I have not gone into labor by then. They are going to admit me at 4 and do some tricks prior to inducing me on Tuesday morning to hopefully help me to start dilating. On Tuesday morning, they hope I will be 3cm and they will start the potosin drip and he will arrive sometime on Tuesday...one way or the other. We are beyond excited. I was very anxious and nervous at the prospect of being induced but now we are just so glad we finally have a date and this way I can make sure I am showered and my legs are shaved before bringing our sweet little boy into the world (these were 2 of my biggest fears) :) Please keep us in your prayers on Monday and Tuesday!! Here is one final belly shot. I really didn't think I would post anymore pictures, but this one isn't too bad. It definitely shows that I am about to pop. Dr. R said he was guessing that he probably weighed about 7.5 pounds right now. Very exciting!!
