June 30...E-Day

My father-in-law, Dennis, informed me that June 30 was NOT the day to have a baby! Since it was the end of the fisical year, the doctor was just trying to ram another baby in, he joked!

Well all joking aside, Emily's induction date is June 30. Devon and I are to report to the Birthcenter at the Med at 6 a.m. Boy is that early!

We are both very excited with news, and so far Emily has not made any moves to push her birthday any earlier, although I can FINALLY tell that she is "lightening."

I am still in atrial flutter so that is a concern as we enter the final hours....but I am very relived that my little crazy girl will be in my arms soon.

No Fireworks on Fourth of July

I had my 37 week checkup with my OB today. I asked him what the tentative game play for labor and delivery now that I am on heparin (blood thinner). He said that an epidural is "iffy" depending on the amount of heparin in my system. Soooo, if Emily had not made her appearance before 39 weeks (June 29) they will schedule an induction. This will allow time for me to come off the heparin and insure and epidural.

Of course anything can happen between now and then and I could still need a section to deliver her, but my target date is June 30.

Here are my 37 week pictures!
