Induction Date

So, I completed my 24-hour urine test and my doctor's suspicions turned out to be true. I do have enough protein in my urine to be considered to have mild preeclampsia. Yesterday I was able to mentally get myself to a point where if I do have medical need for an induction, I can find peace with scheduling one. Therefore, when the doctor called with my results today I was able to schedule an induction for Monday morning with no hesitations. Overall, Pat and I are feeling excited. Sure I'm scared and nervous, but I'm sure those are normal feelings. I can't wait to see what Quinn looks like and I am grateful that we'll have the opportunity to have everything as prepared as possible. If he comes on his own before then, that would be great! But if not, then it looks like we'll be parents on Monday!

  1. You'll do great! Its funny, I got so nervous when they said "c-section" but when it came time I was so excited to meet Hudson I didn't care. You'll be in my prayers this weekend. Good luck and enjoy every minute.

  2. Ahhh Kim! You get to meet your little guy on Monday! I know all about your nervous feelings, but you will be great! Look at it this way - you don't have to wonder if you're in labor or not at home (like I did):). I agree with Katie - catch up on sleep this weekend and then be prepared for the best days of your life. I'm not kidding. I think those first moments at the hospital were some of the best moments ever! Can't wait to hear details/see pictures. You'll be in my prayers, my dear. Happy Father's Day - Pat!!!
