Its almost time!!!

I went to the Dr today and am only 1cm dilated. He asked me how long we wanted to wait for him to arrive before we induce. What a hard question to answer! I mean I'm ready for him to be here now but then oh my goodness he could be here at anytime! So we are giving him until Monday to arrive. If he doesn't make an appearance this week then we will go to the hospital Sunday at midnight to get my first dose of medicine to start the process! I am also starting tomorrow a medication to increase my platelets. I have to go 4 times... once every 12 hours to get an IV with the medicine. I start at 9am Wednesday morning and then again at 9pm and the same on Thursday. Then I will have high enough platelets to get an epidural if I need or want to get it. I am so excited to meet our baby and can't wait until Monday when he arrives!

almost time for Aaron to arrive!


I am soo excited to meet our son! We are getting soo close! I can't believe it is September already! I am soo ready to meet him! I am having a really hard time getting up out of chairs ( I almost got stuck on the swing at work today!)... Oh and last weekend I almost didn't fit in the booth at Hardees! If he would have been a tiny bit bigger I would not have fit!!! I went to the Dr yesterday and was not dilated but he is big! I had an ultrasound to see his size and the tech said I expect him to be a little bigger than the average 6 1/2 lbs... and sure enough he is measuring around 7lbs 10 oz... He has a lot of hair and is definitely a boy!! I thought he may be coming last night and thought maybe my water had broken but after a trip to the hospital they decided I was not leaking fluid and sent me home... I was kinda disappointed but didn't think he was quite ready to come see us anyway! Here is a new picture of him... He kept putting his hand in front of his face and wouldn't move it!
