TWO WEEKS from today we will be holding our precious baby boy in our arms, Lord willing!!!!!
I had my 37 week check up yesterday and everything looked great! I am dialated 2 cm and 25% effaced. Grayson has dropped and is getting ready to make his way into the world! We are absolutely THRILLED and cannot wait to greet him!! So for now we are just waiting...
He could pretty much be here any day, but we decided to set a date to induce. It has been a really difficult decision for Casey and me to make. We are continuing to pray for discernment in our decision. I would love for Grayson to come on his own and he very well could! We set the induction date for January 26, exactly two weeks from today. It is so exciting thinking he will for sure be here in two weeks, but then again I worry if this is the right decision. I don't feel entitled to decide his birth day! I know there are both advantages and disadvantages to being induced and SO MANY people do it. I'm not worried about the safety or anything at all, I just want Grayson to come when he's ready. Anyone have any advice either way??
This new momma is going to need LOTS of help. :)

Allison! I am so excited for you & Casey! I think either way is the perfect way for baby Grayson to come! I don't think there is anything wrong with inducing...just gives you more time with him :) Good Luck with everything, I can't wait to see him...he will be beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOh Alli, you will be a fabulous mommy...it will be natural for you I am certain. As far as inducing vs. not...either way, however this baby comes into your life, it will be the most perfectly amazing day ever. I promise you that. I was induced and loved it...but I think letting him come on his own would be very cool too. A plus for inducing, it allows your family to plan to be there...and i'm a huge planner, so that helped me =) Just be patient, and if he doesn't come on his own before then, I'd say go ahead for the "2 weeks from today" birthday! He'll be here so soon either way, get ready to love like you have never loved before. He is going to be beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSOOO exciting!
