The doctor set an induction date for next week. If baby has not arrived by Thursday, I will be induced in the morning. We will actually go in Wednesday night at 7pm. They are going to insert a prostaglandin gel to (hopefully) help my cervix dilate/efface before the induction Thursday morning. At my appointment on Friday I was still just a fingertip dilated. We are still praying baby will decide to come before then so I can avoid the pitocin but I can't wait too much longer because of school... I start clinicals in less than 3 weeks. We are excited about having a date set but nervous! I'm so scared the induction will be unsuccessful and I'll end up with a a c-section and no time to recover. We go in Tuesday for an ultrasound to check the weight of the baby and amniotic fluid level. The doctor isn't concerned about either but since my due date is Monday, he's just checking to be on the safe side.
No matter what, Baby Padgett will be here next week! We'll keep ya updated if anything happens before then.

We spent the weekend in Amelia, Ohio with Korey's dad and step-mom, Bitsie. His brother Josh and wife Jen flew in from Minnesota to see everyone. We were so excited to meet their daughter Madi. Madi is Korey's only niece and we have been dying to meet her since she was born last March! Jen and Josh are expecting Baby #2 in a couple months. Since Aiden is only 3 months older than Madi, we brought him with us. He loved playing and flirting with Madi. I was hoping Baby Padgett would be here before they came in because it will probably be awhile before we see them again, but no cooperation there. : ) We had a fun weekend catching up with everyone.

39 weeks and no action
Our 39 week appointment was Friday and while everything looks good and healthy, the doctor "warned" me to not count on a baby coming before my due date next week. My cervix hasn't changed, still closed and 50% effaced. Baby dropped a little bit whic
h I hadn't noticed
(still icing my ribs every night!), but I guess my belly was measuring lower than last week. At least all my walking is doing something. After next week if I still haven't gone into labor they will do an ultrasound to estimate the baby's size and make sure my amniotic fluid isn't getting too low. We will talk about induction then, though Korey and I are really hoping it doesn't come to that. We think the baby will come when he/she is ready and I am actually excited about going into labor naturally. Still have all week so hopefully this baby will start working on something. : )
