Two Days to Go!

I'm sorry I haven't written any updates lately. We have been SO busy getting ready for our new addition lately. We've been organizing and moving things around to make room for her. We also had three rooms painted and the carpets cleaned. Our house looks great now! My mom, Ray, George and Mary have been so helpful, too. My mom has been over our house several times to help us organize, then took me shopping for the many things we'll need for the new baby. Ray has been doing a lot of home improvement projects that needed to be done. Mary and George have taken Evelyn any time we've needed them to, which has been a big help. It's so nice to have such loving and helpful people in our lives!

Well...here's the big news: My doctor decided to induce my labor a week before my due date because our little baby is measuring a little on the big side (surprise surprise). At 38 weeks, she was already measuring around 8 pounds! And since they gain about a pound a week at this point, an early induction is a good idea. We'll be going in at 9am this Tuesday to start the induction process. Both my mom and Mary will be in the delivery room with us. We'll be at Henry Ford Wyandotte Hospital and if everything goes smoothly, we'll probably be home on Thursday.

I'm very glad I'm getting induced. I've been having semi-painful contractions for at least three weeks now and I'm excited to get things moving along. We can't wait to meet our new little bundle! We also can't wait to see Evelyn's reaction to having a new baby join our family.

We finally finished the baby's room and it looks adorable. I'll be sure to post pictures (as soon as I get my camera fixed).

Well, I'll be sure to update this blog with pictures and stories shortly after we get home from the hospital. Until then, wish me luck! I can't believe there will be FOUR of us in two days!!
