We Have a Date

I went to my appointment with my midwife, Sarah, yesterday and things are progressing nicely. I am 3cm dilated and just waiting for Miss Kennedy to decide she would like to join us on the outside. However, I don't blame her for wanting to stay put, especially as I am watching the snow falling out the window this morning. Although we would like Kennedy to pick her own arrival date, we are going to help her along in the event that she decides to stick this one out. Which means we have set the date for induction to be noon next Tuesday, 2/3/09.

We selected 2/3 to be the day, since my midwife is on call that night, and it would really be nice if she were the one there to deliver Kennedy, as she delivered Addison and did a fabulous job! Also, I think that 2/3/09 is kind of neat, as Brian's birthday is the opposite 3/2! I have been especially pleased with Sarah as my midwife, she has been willing to fitting me into her schedule when it is convenient for me, even if she is all booked up (although I have not needed to take her up on that offer). Not to mention, this week she gave me her home and cell phone numbers to call her in the event that I do go into labor when she is not on call and although I initially declined, she insisted on me calling her and she will come in if she is not preoccupied. Oh, and last but not least, she is also a lefty like Brian and I, which is so funny, because Brian and I always seem to meet the other leftys of the world :)

I am still working and will do so through Friday this week, as I already have next Monday off and well, there is no reason for me to go in and work a few hours on Tuesday before the induction. Now, we are just anxiously awaiting Kennedy's arrival. Wish us luck!
