I just got back from the doctor's office, and he wants to induce me next week! He said he thinks the baby is going to be over 8 lbs (so the measurements either went up quite a bit from last week, or I misunderstood the smaller baby part), and he doesn't want to let me go past the 13th. Anyway, he can't do the 11th or 12th, so Dave and I decided on the 10th! So...unless I got into labor before that, Baby J will be here next Tuesday. WOO-HOO! I can't wait...now I'm getting kind of nervous, but very excited too. All of this build up and now a for-sure date just escalates all of the feelings. I've heard that inductions can cause contractions to be pretty bad...so I'm sure an epidural will be in order. ;-) But, I'm sure I'll live!
Other than that, Dave and I went to a marriage conference over the weekend which was really great. We both loved it. It was Friday, Saturday, and Sunday...so it was a lot, but we both learned a lot too. We were doing well to begin with, but it just helped us learn more tools to not drive each other crazy. Haha! Good timing for having a baby, because that causes some very stressful times. It was a Christian based retreat, so it really focused a lot on keeping God at the center of our lives. I would recommend it to anyone, they go all over the country. If you're interested, it is called "A Weekend To Remember", you can go to www.familylife.com to check it out.
OK, back to work (it's going to be really hard to concentrate now that I know baby will be here a week from today or before!!).
Love you all!
