We're almost there (39 weeks!)

Most of you know that I have had issues with my blood pressure throughout my pregnancy. Most of you also know that my doctor wants to induce me at 40 weeks due to this high blood pressure. Today I went to the doctor and I am only dilated to one. The doc is concerned that the induction may take too long and result in a c-section if I am not dilated any farther. While we were super excited at the thought of having Audrey by Friday (the 8th), I am not okay with possibly having a c-section if it can be avoided. So I chose not to be induced next week and wait to see the doctor next Thursday to see if I am dilated any farther. Based on that appointment, the doc wants to schedule the induction for the following Monday (the 11th) whether I am dilated more or not. It is a little disappointing knowing that we will not meet our little angel next Friday, but I really feel like I made the right decision. If I'm not dilating, then she's not ready. And I know c-sections are common, but it is still surgery and I am going to avoid it at all costs!
I think it is kind of funny planning on being induced and all of this worrying because I could really go in labor at any time. I think I just have it in my head that I won't go by my due date because this is my first pregnancy. Honestly, I don't feel awful. I'm not exactly comfortable but I can't complain. Next Wednesday is my last day before maternity leave. I'm sure I will cry my eyes out when I leave...I'll miss my kids so much! I am going to be bored at home with just one kid to look after...lol!

A good laugh...

A Room for Audrey Grace

Diaper cake

Scott's mom made this super cute diaper cake as a gift for the shower she threw me. I thought it was so adorable and I had to share!

We have less than 4 weeks until Audrey is due...unbelievable!! I am getting so antsy! We have everything we need and her room is all ready. We even put a sheet on her crib...lol. Scott has made the diaper bag his job and has been obsessively packing and repacking it almost daily...lol. He is going to be such a great dad!

Any day now!! Love you all!!
