Locked and Loaded

Boy...Memorial Day feels like a LLLLOOOOOONNNNGGGGG time ago. I was just thinking this morning that that was exactly how I felt about January 24 on the day we found out about this new little one. But, nonetheless, it is here. This is the final week of our pregnancy and our son is ready and waiting. No new word from the doctor at our appointment this past Friday. Stella is still dilated to 2 and they mentioned again how low he is. So now we are playing a waiting game that will without a doubt end this week. Unless he comes before, Stella will be induced Thursday morning, which happens to be our due date. When the doctor scheduled us for that day, he initially thought that would 40 and a half weeks, and they don't like pregnancies to extend to 41 weeks. So he realized it was our due date and offered to change it, but we decided the 24th it would be. We certainly couldn't run the risk of him being born on my mother-in-law's birthday. ;)

So...we are ready (as much as we are going to be), the boy is ready, and George is ready. We had hoped for an early arrival (end of tax year would have been nice), but I guess my boy insists on being punctual...or his mom is really comfortable. Stay tuned for our next post containing the play-by-play and corresponding pictures.
