Ready or Not Here I Come
I went to the doctor on Friday and he did and internal exam. Wow that hurt. But he did say that I was 3 cm dilated and about 80% effaced. This means that I will most likely go into labor in the next few weeks. He also told us that he is going to be out of the country from the 9th of November to the 23rd. If I don't go into labor before he leaves we have to decide if I should be induced or just have another doctor that I don't know deliver the baby. We are holding out to see if I go on my own before we make that decision. We will need to decide by next Friday though if baby Thomas doesn't come in the next few days. I have a mix of emotions from being very excited to finally meet my little boy, to fear about the delivery and if he will be healthy. God is in control and I just need to keep trusting in Him and know that His will is best.

Hey Mel! Your mom told me yesterday about the news from Friday. I am getting so excited for you! I love you and can't wait until you feel what I've been feeling for the past 22 months! :) Are you feeling ready emotionally? I remember my doctor was at the airport and her flight was cancelled because of the weather so she came to the hospital to deliver Eli. I was so relieved but I think at that time I realized that it was safer to just be calm about him coming into the world than who really helped bring him... I knew that the office I went to was full of wonderful doctors and I trusted them. And once I saw my little boy all that anxiety went away... I couldn't stop saying "thank you" in the operating room :) I love you and am praying for you a ton, because I remember all these feelings like they were yesterday. I LOVE YOU, SISTER!
WOW! I can't believe it's that time already :-) That means I really need to get your box in the mail! I was gonna finish getting it ready yesterday, but then decided that a nice cry on the couch with my aunt was more needed...and then, to avoid all the billions of things that we need to do in the house (have I mentioned that our basement flooded with poo?? not fun times!), we figured out my costume for the youth group halloween party...but now I MUST get your box on its way since Thomas is soon on HIS way :-)
