So...I realize that I'm a terrible blogger. Can I have the excuse that I've been preparing getting things ready for the baby?? I know, I know..I've read several of your blogs out there who are just as pregnant and somehow still manage to keep us all informed on a regular basis. Maybe that will be me one day...So here's the update.
I saw my doctor yesterday and the conditions of everything are looking good to where I could go into labor anytime between now and my due date (which is Monday, the 21st)..but if I don't go on my own..then we've already scheduled me to come in on Monday at noon to be induced...(!!!) My doctor says that he should just need to scrape my membranes and that's all I will need to get labor going. It's so crazy...so surreal that we're finally going to be having this baby. We actually were seeing an infertility specialist before I got pregnant in Houston and were told that our only solution to have a baby was to have IVF with ICSI. (It's a little more involved than normal IVF). Long story short, our doctor suggested that we try taking a medicine in pill form for a 6 month trial basis that had minimum/no side effects and was much less expensive than the IVF would be. She told us that the chances of success were very low, but that it couldn't hurt to try. We were pregnant within a month into the trial. Our doctor called the pregnancy a miracle.
I feel so fortunate that God has blessed us with the opportunity to be parents to this baby who I will meet in a few days. We are so excited!
