Only 10 ...

Today turned out to be quite the interesting day! I took the day off of work because I had to get a non-stress test done AND my regular doctor's appointment. I was just getting out the door when I couldn't find my keys. I had given them to Joe last night so he could drive home from a friend's house, (he was helping her on her computer!) He had stuck them in his pocket -- and I didn't have a way to get to my doctor's appointment. I called him and he came and picked me up -- but at that point we were too late and just plan on going in again on Tuesday. SO my only doctors appointment was at 4:00 ... I guess I could have gone to work :)

The doctor checked my progress -- last week I was about 3/4 cm dilated and 20% effaced. This week I am 1.5 cm and 50%. He was pleased with the progress and expects me to be even further along next time I see him on the 13th. He decided that my due date is probably around the 23rd and it would be safe to schedule my induction on the 16th. We go in at 5:00 a.m. That seems a bit early -- but I figured that I can't sleep in on Christmas morning -- I'll have no problem leaving the house at 4:30. This is perfect because my parents are going out of town for a couple of days LATE on the 18th and they will DEFINITELY be able to meet my little guy before they go.

This means ... the countdown is running out of time! Only 10 days left until I meet my little man! (I also only have 10 days to pick out a name! ahhh!)
