Fast but Slow

Today I think I had my shortest appointment. Really, what are they going to say and do when you go into the hospital in three days anyway! I got checked. I am still a 1 but 70% effaced now and she said my cervix is very soft. So at least I have changed a little. I figured I would still be at a 1, but I was secretly hoping for more!!! Then we talked about what will happen when we go in to be induced on Monday at 6:00 am. She said I'll get admitted, they will monitor the baby for awhile and get a good script on him then they will start the lovely yet evil drug, Petocin. She said she will be by fairly early to break my water. She said at least you will know that by Monday night you won't be pregnant. Let's hope not! She thinks I should start contracting good and dialating in a timely manner and it shouldn't be an all day event. She said I can have my epidural at anytime! THANK GOD! I was thinking that maybe I would try to make it to a 5, but I am a baby, so I will keep telling myself that. Drew, Hunter and I went out for dinner tonight and enjoyed our little family of 3 one more time. We then walked the mall and Kohls for awhile. Got Hunter new shoes and Drew shoes. I need shoes but I can't try them on or tie them, so I am going to wait until next month. Drew has to tie my shoes now, so I am always in flip flops. Anyway, I got home and went to the restroom and I am starting to loose some of my mucus plug...hopefully my doctor loosened some things up in there, so that could help things move along too. My doctor is not on call this weekend though, so we are hoping for tonight/tomorrow or wait until Monday. Really though, we can't wait to meet Cooper, so we will take him whenever he comes. So, this is the last post prebaby. The next post will be our postbaby experience. YEAH!! Keep up the prayers and thank you for everything during this pregnancy. You will soon meet Mr. Cooper!

When I start to loose my mucus plug I usually give birth within the next 24 hours. I hope that is the same with you. Remember, I was induced with Halie. So if you have any questions let me know. I was started at 6 and had her around 12:30. I'm planning on coming up to the hospital as soon as Craig gets home from work...if I can wait that long! :)
