Yesterday our doctor decided she wants to induce me next Tuesday morning. At first I was about to go into a panic attack and tried really hard to keep it together. This morning I feel a lot better about it, I guess dealing with all the emotions yesterday and getting a chance to sleep on it has helped. Of course, come Monday night/Tuesday morning I'll probably be in a panic again!
Sweet Man is so excited! He has been asking for a couple weeks now if we could go ahead and induce, lol. I think the not knowing when she would come was really making him nervous. Now that we have a date set and an actual day to countdown to he'll probably start getting just as anxious as I have been.
So, in 5 days we should have a precious little baby girl in our arms. I suppose this new reality won't hit me until we bring her home from the hospital, and even then I'll probably be too tired to really think about it. Having a baby is pretty major stuff! haha I know people do it every single day, but it is a pretty big deal. It definitely isn't like buying a new camera or some sort of electronics that you can return, where you are all excited about buying it and a little apprehensive about spending the money. Then you get it home and realize it is a lot more work to operate than you had imagined, so you return it. Nope, this is not going to be anything like that. We are excited, apprehensive, and we'll get her home and realize we were not at all prepared, but there is no way we are sending her back. So our lives will forever be altered come Tuesday and we can't wait! :)
