Hudson will be here by Thursday!

Well, we finally have more progression. I went to the doctor this morning and I've dilated 1 cm. It's not much, but the doctor was pleased that I have dilated and I am still 80% effaced. Hudson has moved farther down, so that's also good news. Ready for more good news??

We have a date for an induction! Unless Hudson decides to come earlier (haha), then we will check in to the hospital on Wednesday afternoon at 5:00 pm and I'll get started on some mild meds to help thin out the rest of my cervix. They will give me a mild sleeping pill to help me get some rest and then at around 4:00 am, they will come in to wake me up and start the pitocin. We shall see how things go from there. Hopefully I'll dilate more between now and then to make things even better. We have already decided that I'm getting an epidural, so that will happen some point during the day. Hopefully, we will have a baby on Thursday! :) I think April 8, 2010 is a good day for a birthday, don't you? :)

That means that tomorrow will be my last day at work until May 24. I can't wait to have time off to spend with little Hudson. We are so excited about meeting him so soon! :) Please keep praying that this will be a smooth procedure and that everything will work out well for mommy and baby on Thursday! We will keep you updated if anything happens beforehand.

That is awesome! I am laughing because that was exactly what happened with Savannah. Savannah's head was turned the wrong way so in order to get her to get future down into the birthing canal I turned every hour from side to side.
Good luck and I totally recommend an epidural! I can't wait to see pictures! Will be praying for you and tell you family to bring a sweater because you will be burning up and they will be freezing!

Praying for you and Hudson!

I am SO EXCITED!!!

I will try to figure out a way to see Hudson in the hospital. Honestly, it's not looking good with my work and school schedule (midterm on Saturday), but I will do my darnedest to get down there soon.

I am so happy for you and praising God right along with you and Travis!
