Update- 40 weeks- Due Date!!

We went back to the doc's last night for our 40 week check-up, can you believe it?? Today is my actual due date, I thought I would never make it here!! He said that there is still nothing much going on up there so he would like to induce me. I didn't really want this, but at the same time, how long can this go on for?? Because I have a history of high BP, he wants to start the whole process tomorrow morning. So, tomorrow morning I will go in for NST (non-stress tests) to make sure C.J. is ok, his heart, position, etc. Then tomorrow evening I will be admitted and given something to soften my cervix. Hopefully this will make something happen, if not, they will start pitocin Friday morning. Long story short, we will have a baby by this weekend at some point!! I feel so many emotions right now, most of them excitement, some fear, dread, etc. This has been such a long road, but an amazing one, I feel so blessed to have had it without any complications. Now I am just praying for a non-complicated labor process. So for those of you who are reading this, please pray for that as well!! God is SOOO good and faithful, He is where I am putting my trust!! I will post soon to introduce our little man to you!!

Hi Jill, I have been checking on you every day and I know you will be relieved to finally have something progressing toward the big prize. Try to stay relaxed, ride the event and cherish every step. Soon enough you will be onto a new life's story. God bless. Fondly, Peggy

Hi Jill,
I have checked every day and yes, yes, I am praying. Enjoy each moment. They go by quickly and you cannot recapture them. Give Chad a hug and rest in the Lord. I love you. Mary

Hi family!!! Jill, I heard you finally had CJ by C section - I sympathize - had both of my boys by section too. Karen said you are all well and I am sooo happy for you. Can't wait to see pictures of this angel we have all waited for so long!! Lots of love is coming your way as you embark on this wonderful journey. Today was my John's confirmation day - seems like a long time ago when he was born and yet it also seems like the wink of an eye. Enjoy every moment!!
