October 15th Deadline

I had one of many doctor's appointments yesterday. The doctor and I went over the results of my sonogram from Friday. All in all, we still have a big baby on the way and she will probably have to induce. The doctor said we have two issues 1) making sure the Em is developed enough and 2) making sure she doesn't get too big. I love my doctor! She is great about talking with me about the issues. I was so worried about Em not being fully developed if I was induced too early. My doctor explained to me that by 39 weeks, she was 99% sure that Em would be developed enough to join us. So, to avoid having a 10lb baby we are going to induce on 15th. Provided Em doesn't make an appearance before then.

Justin and I are so excited! So, provided she doesn't come early on her own, we will be parents three weeks from today. I can't believe it! This last couple of months has just flow by.

Oh, and a little side note. October 15th has special meaning for Justin and I. Ten years ago on October 15th Justin and I started our relationship. We had been a few "dates" before then but, that was the day he said that I was his girlfriend and that we were exclusive. I know so high school but, hey we were 18 and 19 at the time. I just think it is so special that our first child could be born on the 10 year anniversary of our relationship.

We can't wait to meet our little blessing from the Lord!
