I am not all that proud of these pictures, but you get the point. I am 39 weeks today! We are so lucky because we have been able to schedule an induction and that day is nearing very quickly. We go in on Sunday, May 23rd to start the process. For those of you who don't know, I have low blood platelets. Blood platelets help you clot when you bleed, so during labor and delivery, this is pretty important. My platelet count has been running ok during pregnancy but not high enough for me to get an epidural. I have never been thru labor, but from what I hear, I am going to want the epidural! This is why we had to schedule an induction. If we went past my due date, I would have a higher chance of going into labor on my on, and my platelet count may or may not have been high enough. This way we have prepared in advance. All of this said, my platelets have all the sudden decided to cooperate, and I am not going to need the infusion afterall! I am very grateful for this. The infusion is safe, but who wants to get an infusion with nausea and vomiting side effects if not needed?
My last day of work was Wednesday, so I have had a few days to myself to rest. I have really enjoyed that. I went and got a manicure and pedicure today! I think we have pretty much prepared as best we can to bring Audrey Grace home!
We are so excited that we get to meet our baby girl in 3 days! I am really excited that I get to be induced because I cannot imagine going another 2-3 weeks! I have really enjoyed my pregnancy but I am over it. I am ready to hold and love my baby girl and I know her daddy is too.
