Carter will be here soon!!

I was 2cm dilated & 80% effaced at our 39 week appt. yesterday morning which was good to hear & I was just glad that I was progressing! That is supposedly Dr. Tamucci's minimum that you need to be in order to be induced, well besides for other medical reasons or whatever. So after a little discussion & her suggestion/persuasion to go ahead & set up an induction for this coming week...we set it up for Monday morning...we have to be there @ 6:30am. Monday nights are the nights that she is on call so if it takes longer than normal office hours she'll be around to for sure deliver him which is of course what we wanted. I was a little hesitant about the induction especially since I hadn't even reached my due date (it's Tues) but she said that I was a "great candidate" for an induction & I trust her & know that she knows what she is doing. We are such planners anyway so it is good to already know pretty much when he'll be here. So if he doesn't come this weekend, Carter's birthday will be March 30th!! We are absolutely thrilled & can't wait to meet him! I just can't wait to see his little face since we never got to see it on a sonogram. I mean I can't believe he'll be here in 3 days or less!! CRAZY! I think Justin may be more excited than I am! He was being so cute this morning talking to our dog Bailey about it...she was up on the bed & he was just scratching her belly (she loves that) & going on & on about Carter being here soon & that he would be pulling on her tail & ears...of course when he is a little older. :) Some of my girlfriends that work with Justin said that he called to tell them all about Carter's pending arrival yesterday after the appt. & that he sounded SO excited! He has been asking me basically everyday for the past 2 weeks when Carter was going to get here...he's going to be such a great Dad & I can't wait!!
