10 Days and Counting

Just a brief update on the status of Emma. Due to the fact that my blood pressure is doing really well (today it was 109/62), Emma won't likely be coming early due to a medical induction. So, while at my doctor's office today, we picked the date for my elective induction - which my doctor will perform at the 38 week mark. If I don't go into labor on my own before this time, she will allow me to be induced on November 17th! Thank goodness there is an end in sight - this is great news for me!


However, Dr. Branaman did say today that I'm almost 4 centimeters dialated and 75% effaced, so there is a high chance that I could go into labor on my own before then. I'm praying for that option - obviously - but we’ll have to wait to see what happens! It just feels good to know, that in 10 days or less our family will be a family of 4 and I will no longer be pregnant!
