Anticipation.

So now we're a mere 10 days away from meeting miss Elena. Due to me having gestational diabetes and Elena measuring 3 weeks ahead (at least according to her ultrasounds), I'll be induced April 6th--at 38 weeks exactly. We've been going to weekly appointments with a dietician and perinatologist to check amniotic fluid levels, baby's activity, my blood sugar levels, and every 3 weeks we get a growth scan. It's been pretty cool to be able to see her on a weekly basis, but now I'm ready to see her outside of my belly already. Waiting for April 6th to get here is a huge snooze fest---I am constantly thinking about next Friday and am so anxious. Everything has been washed and put away; her carseat, crib, and stroller are ready to go...all we need is a baby to fill them. The only things I need to do are sterilize her bottles, but that'll take me no time at all. Our hospital bag is ready to go, too. I've been sitting at 3cm dilated and 50% effaced for over a week now. I'll be checked again on Friday. The doc said that's awesome for induction. I'm praying for a smooth and short labor process. Whatever happens, though, I am 100% ready to meet my daughter and hold her. I can't wait to officially be a mommy!
