The Big Day

We went to the doctor this morning and I'm making progress. Yay!!! After talking with the doctor and discussing our options, we decided to let the doctor set us up to be induced late Sunday night. The only downside to that is that I won't be able to have my preferred OB deliver John Michael because she isn't on call on Monday. I'm a little nervous about that, but I have met the doctor that will be on call that day and I feel comfortable with him. I feel very encouraged by the progress that I have made so far and the doctor thinks that it's possible that I may even go into labor before the induction starts. We are going to continue taking our nightly walks and maybe that will help the labor go better as well. I feel much better now after talking to the doctor today and finding out that my body is getting itself ready naturally for the process already.

Chuck and I are going to use the next couple of days to spend as much time with Charlie as possible before the big arrival. I can tell already that Charlie is sensing that it is near because he has been extremely clingy with both me and Chuck. Of course, I don't mind that a bit because I love cuddling with him, but I'm worried about him. I hope that he handles the change well, but I'm sure that he will. He has always been such an easy child. I hope that John Michael will have his same disposition. It will be interesting to see how their personalities are alike and different. Keep us in your prayers as the big day approaches. We'll send out texts and updates as soon as he gets here.
