still pregnant with an end in sight!!

We went for the last weekly doctor appointment today. Still dilated at 1 cm, but am definitely thinning. The doctor was able to tell that Gabe's head is in the right position, but was easily able to move him out of place, meaning that he isn't engaged yet. So Wednesday morning, Guy and I will be seeing the wonderful staff at Baptist North MS Hospital in the ER to be checked in and in L and D to start the induction process. The doctor is going to try cervadil to ripen the cervix and hope that labor starts spontaneously from that. If not, at 6 pm, he will start a pitocin drip. Anyway, Guy and I are planning for a nice, long boring day. The doctor says not to expect Gabe until extremely late Wednesday night or early Thursday AM. He also told us to bring a lot of reaidng material and stuff to entertain. Anyway, Mabry will be going to school that day. Tom, Guy's dad, arrived last night and Louise, Guy's mom, arrived yesterday afternoon. They are going to help us out by getting Mabry to and from school on Wednesday. Hopefully, Gabe, Guy, and I will be home on Thursday or early Friday since we just found out that Guy has class on Saturday. Keep us in your thoughts.

What the hell? You are NOT coming home that early! You need to stay in the hospital and rest for a minute (not LITERALLY a minute like YOU'RE talking about)!

I'm thinking of you all often. Please let me help you with May. Louise could drop her here before school and/or I could bring her home. Let me know!
