40 Weeks, 4 days and counting...


Well, my due date has come and gone!  I had a doctors appointment on Thursday (picture above of me, Ryan, our nurse Lori & Dr. Macey) and there wasn't any progress so the plan is to induce at 6:30am on Tuesday morning, March 31st - only 2 more days!!!  Dr. Macey said his prediction for the day would be as follows:

6:30am - start the pitocin
8:30am - break my water
10:00am - epidural - yes, I am planning to get one :)
3:00pm - BABY!!

We'll see how close he is come Tuesday!  Mom, Dad, Sarah & Meredith are all driving up on Monday night to be here on Tuesday.  The McSwains will come too so the hospital waiting room will be buzzing!  Patrick & Ryan Fetz are planning to come up over the weekend to meet Madison Claire.  We are *so* excited to meet her and can't wait for her to get here!!  

The week went by fairly quickly considering I was hoping to go into labor each day!  I had a surprise visit from the Robinson's on Tuesday which was great!  I hadn't ever met Carter Caroline so it was sweet to be able to kiss her cheeks and Kate was just adorable...I can't believe how much she has grown since I last saw her!!!  






We've got the bags all packed and everything ready to go so are enjoying our last 36 hours of just the 2 of us!! We definitely appreciate all of your prayers on Tuesday morning and we'll update you just as soon as we can!

Love,
Lauren & Ryan
