Doctor's Appointment Update

Well sorry to break the news but I still haven't had the baby yet. Last night I had a lot of Braxton Hicks in my back that lasted all night long, but they never got stronger and they weren't very consistent, so I wasn't panicking, but thought it might be a good time to pack for the hospital, so I got a few things together. 

At the doctors I found out that I made SOME progress. I am now dilated to a 1.5. She told me after stretching me out (and boy did it hurt) that I am almost a 2. (I'm not sure if I appreciated that part.)

Anyways she scheduled me to be induced on Thursday the 23rd at 10pm. My sister Casandra is coming down from Salt Lake for the weekend to tend my kids. I totally love her for that. The best part is I didn't even have to ask her she just loves doing it.  (I think it's cause she doesn't have any kids of her own yet :)

Well I am beat and I have to hit the sack. The worst is I'm so tired but I can't sleep a wink I am up every half hour. Maybe my body is just getting ready for the next month of no sleep at all.

So if you go in at 10 pm, you probably won't have the baby until the 24th right? Or does it happen faster when you get induced? Good luck! Can't wait to meet her next week!
