Friday the 13th!

I had my appointment today and things went GREAT! I am dilated to a 2 and the doctor said everything looks really good! She did and ultrasound.... actually she had the ultrasound specialist come in and do the ultrasound because his head is so far down and she wanted a really accurate measurement. His head is medium/average size and his tummy is "FAT". I wish I could get a video of her saying this word- she exaggerates the "f" and kind of scrunches up her nose... plus there's the accent and I love her mannerisms. I loved watching her says this and came up with ways to make her say it a couple more times because it was so funny.
The plan is to induce on Friday if he hasn't come yet. She says there is a good chance he will come before. I'm not exactly counting on it but it would be fun! If I do go in for the induction on Friday it will probably be relatively quick. She is going to break my water and then watch for an hour, at which point she will decide whether or not to give me pitocin.
We have things pretty much set for a babysitter. What a relief! One of the student's wives will watch her on Friday and then a branch member will take her on Saturday. We figure that Sunday will be easy to get people in the playgroup to watch her since everyone is home on Sundays so we're not too worried about it.
So that's that. Our little boy will be here on or before Friday the 13th (great day!)! We can't wait to meet him and hold him and smother him with kisses! YAY!
