The news we have all been waiting for!

So if you haven't heard the news yet, we have a scheduled induction for Thursday (yes, the day after tomorrow) at 3:30am. I am officially freaking out. Because, if you think about it- I have to get ready to go TOMORROW NIGHT! Tonight will be the last night of real sleep that I will have in a LONG TIME. Oh my Goodness! Ugh. I am so tired right now because I have been up since 5:30am because I was so anxious about my appointment today. I had to first go to the hospital for another biophysical sonogram- but everything turned out okay. Jonah's heartbeat was fine and my fluid level was back up, which was what the concern was in the first place. Then, I went and had more blood drawn, and I hope it was my last time to do that. After that, I had to go over to Dr. Lafranca's office and sit and wait over an hour! Once we got in, she let me know that we were scheduled, and also since we are inducing, there is an elevated chance of a c-section. That really got me nervous, but I know that either way, Jonah will be here soon and we are in God's hands! She checked me, and my cervix was actually a tiny bit opened! Not enough for one cm yet, but at least it wasn't closed. She was confident that she will be able to break my water when the time comes. I am very nervous about that, by the way, but she ensured me that if I just relax, I won't feel anything because there are no neurons on the amniotic sack and the instrument will only poke the water bag. It is still very nerve-racking to me though.

The Dr. thinks that it will be about a 12-hour process, and once I am admitted, they will start me on petocin within the first 1/2 hour. Hopefully I will be able to snooze a little bit since it will be a long day. I'm thinking that after I get toe epidural, I will be able to relax a little bit.

Joash is taking off work Thursday and Friday! We are going to have a 4 day weekend together, and Jonah will finally be here. And, I am so happy because my BFF Emily is driving down from Jackson on Thursday evening to see us, and then she will have to go back early Friday morning for work. But I am so glad that she will be able to be a part of this, since she is Jonah's godmother. I am also hoping that Joash's parents will get to come down to visit. They haven't visited since J moved here, and I would like for them to see where he's been staying in LA. But, if not, they can always come to Tyler.

I am so anxious and ready to get to Tyler since we are pretty much bein rushed out of this house. I haven't heard anymore news yet, and I hope that we can at least have until May 6th to be out, since my 2 week appointment with the Dr. is on the 5th. I still have to make arrangements for a new OB, pediatrician, and insurance in Texas very soon. I hope to God that he will lead us to some wonderful doctors, like we have had here. I know everything will fall into place in the end, though. We are in good hands!

Oh, and Daddy comes home tonight! So I am SOOOOOO happy that he will be here and be able to share this special day with us. He is going to be a really great grandpa!
I really need to go lay down and rest right now, but my mind is going 90-nothin and I'm short in breath because I'm so anxious. I don't think I would be able to rest if I tried.

Please continue to keep us in your prayers, and I can't wait to update this after Jonah is here and post pictures!
