I am just posting one last picture before we have this baby. I had an appointment this morning and measured 41 cm. Dr. Fisher gave me 2 options.
Option 1 - I could have the baby today. He would give me a pill to start the conractions, then when they got bad enough I would go to the birthing center here in Blanding to have the baby, but you cannot have an epidural there.
Option 2 - I could have the baby tomorrow. I could go to the hospital in Monticello tomorrow morning at 7:30 and he would start me on pitosin, and I COULD have an epidural.
I elected option 2. I figured since I have already had 2 kids without an epidural I deserved to have one this time, no need to be too tough. I am also afraid that since I am measuring the same with this baby that I did with Ethan, that he will get stuck like Ethan, and I will have to have the horrible vacuum again. I don't want to go through that again without an epidural.
So tomorrow we should have a baby. Yippee!!

Okay, so remember when I saw you at the dental convention in Feb and I kept saying I needed to get a blog so I could keep in touch with everyone. I finally did!
