Time for Kelsey!

I had my check up this morning and not much has changed (surprise, surprise)! Anyways - after some discussion with her and John we decided we are going to induce July 2nd. It was a big decision for us, but if it wasn't tomorrow, it would be Tuesday, July 7th. There were a lot of reasons for me deciding on induction. First, my doctor is on call all weekend and it is really important to me that she delivers Kelsey. She is off on Mondays, and I know with my luck, I'd go into labor Monday and miss out on her delivering. Second, my cervix hasn't changed at all in the past three weeks. Now I am fully aware that anything can happen, even within a day, but if nothing does change by Tuesday, then we would be in the same situation we are right now. I've been praying about this a lot and don't want to rush her if she's not ready, but it seemed like everything lined up perfectly. They had 1 extra spot open for an elective induction, and all our family and friends will be able to be here to enjoy the first days of Kelsey's life. John and I have to call the hospital at 5:00 am to see if they still have a position open, and as you may see right now it is actually 3:00 am. My parents came into town this afternoon and we decided to go to Maccaroni Grill for dinner. I ate wayyy to much and I'm sitting up with bad heartburn and nausea. I'm hoping it will go away in the next few hours because this is not how I want to go into the delivery room!

Besides that, I'm sooo excited to finally see Kelsey. She's been one active girl tonight! I'm hoping it's her being just as excited to come out :) She is still a big kicker...constantly going crazy on my right rib! It's these times where I can't wait to see what those movements look like outside the womb. It's crazy - tomorrow (or later today I should say), John and I's life is going to change forever! We are going to enter into the world of parenting and be responsible for another life! I get excited thinking about the beautiful creation God allowed us to make and pray His guidance will help us develop her into a wonderful child of God. He obviously has confindence in our abilities, so we'll see how it all works out :) I'm so thankful for all our family and friends that are praying for our situation right now. I went to bed smiling, thinking about how when my friends say "You're in our prayers", they actually mean it. How great is that! That's all for now, but hopefully with the help of Laura's iphone, we can get some pictures up as soon as our little blessing arrives! Until then ... keep us in your prayers!
