Today is D Day- otherwise known as our official Due Date. We began the celebration of her un-birthday with a visit to the good old Dr. He reviewed our ultrasound from yesterday and confirmed that our little angel is getting pretty big- over 8 1/2 lbs to be exact. Which means that we can't wait it out another week and see what happens. We still aren't sure how 2 parents who were 5 1/2 and 6 1/2 pounds at birth created an almost 9 pound-er, but it's all a part of the mystery I suppose.
So . . . we'll be heading to the hospital on Wednesday evening to get the process started. We aren't too thrilled about the idea of inducing the labor, but we want a healthy baby and a healthy mama so we're following the Dr's orders. Either way, it looks like she'll be here sometime on Thursday or early Friday.
Tonight we'll continue celebrating her un-birthday with a nice Italian dinner out. The one thing I am going to do in the next 24 hours is eat. From what I hear, once I check into the hospital it's liquids, ice pops and ice for at least 24-36 hours- so I'm going with a full belly. We all know I get cranky when I'm hungry :)
Here's where we'll be.
