Tomorrow is the BIG day!!!
The doctor scheduled my induction for the 20th and I'm trying not to freak out too much. I have been dilated to a three and thinned out and SO ready to have this baby. We spent much of our anniversary at the hospital with "false labor" and I do not want to do that again...so here we are. Ted and I are amazed at the chance to have another baby in our home. Excited doesn't even cover it! We cannot wait to hold our beautiful little girl. I feel extremely blessed to be in our ward that is so giving and helpful. I have had dinner already brought in and I haven't even given birth. My friends are amazing!
I am petrified of the whole induction thing because I have gone into labor naturally every time before and I really don't want an epidural-I know CRAZY!!! I just recover a whole heck of a lot faster without it and if you really knew me-you would know that I am needle-phobic! Surprisingly-I have been pretty calm and haven't had a panic attack-thank you Zoloft! The one thing I remember from all my other labors is that I would constantly be bargaining with Heavenly Father. You know what I mean ladies!!! "Please-if I can just get through this...I will read my scriptures every day. If you make the pain go away...I will go visiting teaching TWICE a month. If you just let this kid be born right NOW....I will NEVER say crap again!"
That type of bargaining!
I wonder if our husbands do the same?
I wonder if it sounds like this-"If she doesn't break my hand...I will help change the diapers in the middle of the night. If you could just help her...I promise not to check on Mitt Romney's website every night. If you could just inspire her to get the epidural...I will walk on the treadmill every night like I already promised AND get up and get the kids ready for school...for a week!"
So without further ado-I'm out because-hello-I'm having a baby tomorrow!!!

Yay, for a new Finch. Good Luck Adrienne. We'll be keeping you in our thoughts.
We'll be praying for you.
It will be over before you know it!!
Then you'll have another super cute blondie in the family. Unless Ted's not the papa. Then you've got some splaining to do Lucy!
I may have just mixed a few soap opera/sitcoms together. Sorry!
Anywho, we'll be bargaining with you!!!

You will have to give us the scoop if an induced labor was harder. I am assuming all went well.
