I had my appointment today at Dr. Webster's office and they hooked me up to this machine that monitored both me and the baby together and everything was normal. She just wanted to monitor him since my fluid level is so high and her conclusion was that just some women have high fluid levels. She also said that if and when my water breaks boy will I know it so lets hope that doesn't happen in public how embarrassing would that be?

She also did a cervical exam...OUCH!! I am still 1 cm dilated and 80% effaced same as last week. She said that there is 20% of my cervix that is just really tough and is being stubborn and won't thin out. Here is the good news we have scheduled my induction for Monday, November 19th at 5:00 am WOO HOO! Here is the thing I have actually started having really light contractions so there is a possibility that I could go into labor on my own this weekend which is the optimal thing but I am not going to hold my breath. My body is just being stubborn.

If we do induce on Monday then Logan's birthday will most likely be 4 days before his cousin Louie's birthday how fun! I am feeling anxious, excited, scared, happy, and nervous all at the same time. By Tuesday Joel and I will be parents how crazy is that. Dr. Webster did say that she was thinking he is going to be somewhere between 7 1/2 - 8 lbs which is good I can handle that. Overall I have enjoyed being pregnant and I will miss feeling him move around inside my belly but having him here with Joel and I is going to be so much better.

I will keep everyone updated!
