So we've had quite the interesting week. After walking a lot and staying busy this weekend, I had regular contractions between 7 and 3 minutes apart from 4:30am Monday morning until around 7:00am Tuesday morning. We thought for sure we were headed to the hospital...and almost took the dog over to Eric & Joni Beth for safe keeping once the contractions hit 3 minutes apart. But, they never got very strong (I was still easily walking and talking through them), so they told us to stay put. Yesterday, they were farther apart and not as consistent. Today, I've had a few stronger ones but nothing regular. I think he's trying his best to escape but just can't quite get the help he needs :)
While we still can't be completely sure, we are thinking baby and I may make it until the induction Friday morning. If so, we're scheduled to come in at 6:00am. Which while that may seem early to some, I feel very blessed we don't have to go in the night before to start the process and miss out on a good night's sleep before the big arrival. Dr. Cunningham thought we had progressed far enough (and had enough practice contractions) to come early in the morning.
We will post pictures and updates as soon as we have a chance. Again, we appreciate everyone's prayers and encouragement over the past 9 months!
