I'm still pregnant, so our plan is in motion! I'll go to the hospital tonight at 8 pm and begin taking cytotec. That will hopefully soften and begin to dilate my cervix overnight. Then my OB will come in on tomorrow morning and start pitocin at 7 am. At my appointment yesterday, I was 50% effaced with no dilation and baby's head was still up high (+2 station). So, this whole induction may not work. If, after a few hours I haven't made much progress, we'll ditch it and do the c-section.
I can't believe that this is my last day being pregnant! I'm having coffee with a friend this morning and Mr. C. and I are going on a dinner date tonight. I'm so excited but of course nervous about what is to come. Hopefully tomorrow or Thursday I'll have a wonderful update! Thank you all for your encouragement and kind words...it means so much to me that you have followed our journey and truly care about what is happening in my life.

So excited for y'all kelly!!! Praying for a safe and healthy delivery. Enjoy your last day being pregnant!
So exciting! Can't wait to hear how everything goes!!!
Hope everything goes smoothly, will be praying for a smooth and healthy delivery! Can't wait to hear an update!
Been following your story for a while and I'm so excited for you! You are following my first childbirth progression almost exactly! I was 40 weeks and 5 days on a tuesday. (Although I had been *slightly* dilated for a few weeks, but nothing was progressing). Then I went into labor tuesday around lunchtime. My baby boy was born late that tuesday night. Maybe the same will happen for you!!
And by the way - I'm 33.5 weeks pregnant with Baby Boy #2! Hopefully he'll come a week or two early. This waiting business is for the birds.
Good luck!
Woo hoo! So excited for you--this is one stubborn little bugger! I can't wait for the update and pics. Saying prayers that everything goes perfectly and it is all you dreamed it would be!
I've been keeping up with you. Such an exciting time. Im so happy that in a short while, that yellow room will be filled with sounds of love. Best wishes to you Kelly and Mr C too in the birth of your sweet angel. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
