Will it be a BOY or a GIRL?????
Yesterday, Dec. 10th was my last day at work. I didn't want to take any extra days off work that didn't need to be used. I did take today off to clean the house so it would be ready when we came home.
Here is one of the last pictures of me pregnant this go around. We will soon see if we are having a Lane Bradley or a Shelby Grace or Callie Grace (haven't decided on a girl's name yet).
Tonight we go to the hospital so I can be induced. On the way there, we stopped at Subway to eat dinner. We took two separate vehicles so that Brad could take his truck to get detailed the next day. When he got out of his truck, he locked his keys in it. So funny, because the week before he was getting on to me for doing the same thing. Well needless to say we were an hour late getting to the hospital.
When we arrived, they started an iv then around 8:30pm they gave me an epidural (which I highly recommend). I wasn't in active labor yet, but because they were doing the cervical ripening balloon, Dr. Cowling wanted me to be comfortable. This procedure could be a little uncomfortable so I'm glad I didn't have to feel it. The epidural didn't hurt, it just made me feel nauseous thirsty and sweaty. They gave me some medicine to help with the nausea..it helped.
Dr. Cowling came in around 10pm and inserted the cervical balloon. My cervix was still very thick and not dilated so she had to practically force the balloon in. Thank goodness for that epidural so I didn't have to feel a thing!
Brad and I tried to get some sleep before the big day tomorrow.
