the end of pregnancy

i wish he had decided to come on his own, but i am thrilled to be heading to the hospital in the morning! i am praying that every thing goes well so that i (and baby) only have to spend one night in the hospital. there is still so much to do before the kids' party next weekend!

over the past few days i have been having contractions at night (why are they always at night?). they have even been every 2-3 minutes for a few hours, but then they stop and i sleep a little. i pretty much have contractions throughout each pregnancy so they don't get me too excited. but my spine feels bruised on the inside from all the hours of baby squeezing this week.

i am a little nervous about an induction because everyone else came before we got to this point - i guess he has a few more hours to change his mind... (we went to the hospital for madelyn three and a half hours before her induction was scheduled to begin.) mainly i just want him to be healthy. this is the first delivery i have been nervous about which seems odd since it is my fourth and have already delivered a beast without trouble, but i am nervous about the pain and how quickly (or slowly) things might go.

i went back and read about maddux' delivery which was neat. the blog has been so great for picking up details to remember. it was an even quicker delivery than i remembered!

but this is my last time! we are so excited to have our family complete! boy is june going to be busy for us from now on! three birthdays within 8 days! and baby boy is going to share with his cousin briana (who turns four tomorrow).

i will get info on baby boy up as soon as possible tomorrow. i don't know if wi-fi is available though but i think i can get something up with my phone. love.
