GAME TIME......10 hours until inducement

Hi All:
Well today is the day that we go in and get induced to bring Baby C into the world. We got a call from the hospital last night checking in with us that we were good to go and to remind us to check in around 7:15pm and then they induce exactly at 8pm. For those that want to know details, they are going to putting some kind of little pills near my cervix to help open as I am already 80% efaced(?)/thinned out. They will also get my IV going (ICK..hate needles) and then start the PITOCIN to help the cervix/contracts along as well. I am trying for NO Epidural after seeing a stupid online video I should never have seen...but who knows, it might just be my next best friends once the labor starts.

If all goes like it did with Michael almost 22 years ago, I will delivery in 3-4 hours. So Baby C could have her BIRTHday on the 2nd or in the wee hours of the 3rd. I pray for an easy and quick delivery as I had with Michael..... but ya never know. I have lots of plans for the delivery and after but you know how that goes with planning deliveries....so for now, I will wish and pray for an easy birth. Can't ask for more than that...right?

Thanks to all of you for all your well wishes, prayers and thoughts. We need them all so keep em coming!!!

Chris is working today at CP for his last time before the baby is born. The military gives him 10 working days off so it will be nice to have him home once again for the 2 weeks counting weekends.

Michael is home today and then off to school tonight for a few hours. He will head home to watch Oscar for us and then he will come by tomorrow morning to see his new sister and then head back home to take care of house stuff and watch and feed Oscar. Chris is hoping to head home sometime on Friday to get some stuff taken care of and then back that night to help with the night feedings. He will head home on Saturday to catch up on sleep and do some weekend stuff before coming back that night for a few hours or back on Sunday to pick us up and bring us home. Home Sweet Home. Hoping to be home to watch some football and the Chargers. GO BOLTZ!

Visitors are welcome while we are at the hospital but you might want to text or call first to make sure we are not sleeping as we WILL be sleeping when the baby sleeps or not out with a nurse. My cell is 619-417-5804 and Chris's is 858-229-8638. We will be at Mary Birch Hospital in the Post Partum rooms I think on the 4th or 5th floor but ask at the front desk and they can direct you. We should be there Friday-Sunday morning unless they let me go home early on Saturday night but we will see.

Well last BLOG before Baby C arrives and the next one will be an update on how it all went, the official name...we are still deciding between the 2 although leaning toward one for sure..just waiting to see her when she is born to make sure the name fits and life with a new baby girl.

Thanks again everyone and have a great rest of the week and weekend!
