Happy St. Patrick's Day

Today I will not be wearing my green beads or heading downtown in the wee hours of the morning for a good parade spot. I won't be drinking beer or people watch all day and night long. Instead I may be having a baby!!! Noah and I went into our bizillionth doctor's appt and I was totally expecting to be sent home disappointed again, but was pleasantly surprised when he was talking about our options. Option 1) do nothing and wait until Ava decides to come, Option 2) Do nothing still but schedule an induction date on my birthday next week (definitely didn't want that, I want her and I to both have our own special day), and Option 3) strip or massage the membranes and induce labor (meaning I would be in labor within 3-4 hours). Noah and I discussed the options and decided on Option 3. What a great day to have a birthday and we were both already so anxious with all the back and forth feedback, plus I was not comfortable anymore and couldn't see me lasting another two weeks miserable. So now I'm in the hospital and hoping we'll have ourselves a baby today! I'm excited, nervous, scared, anxious, and elated all in one.

Hopefully my next post will be as a new mommy! Wish us luck!
