Three more days to go!

Well, I am finally seeing the finish line. Monday evening we will go to the hospital to start the induction. It usually take about 12 hours to see if there is going to be a reaction to the cervidil. Tuesday morning, if I have not begun to start contracting at a regular pace, they will acess me to see if I could use another dose of cervidil or it they will have to move on to pitocin. This will be the big decision.... Hopefully the cervidil will work and I will not have to move on to the pitocin. They said that some women don't respond to cervil and some respond very nicely. I hope I am in the "nicely" category.

On the positive note...

The baby is EXTREMELY active and likes to show off its Ironman feet and hands. Andy and I have gotten a big "kick" out of how much this little bugger can move around inside. It is not uncommon to see a foot print or hand print protrude out several inches, responding to verbal or physical touching.

Since it is a couple of weeks past due, studies say that it will act like a two week old baby when it comes out. Its eyes will be open a lot more throughout the day and it should sleep better throughout the night than a baby born on time. I will let you know if that is true. Since I have have had to wait the least I could get in return would be a better sleeping baby, I am not holding my breath.

Here are some pictures of the garden we planted last weekend. Andy rented a tiller and tilled up the fluffy black earth. So far this is what we have planted. Blue lake green beans, zucchini, regular squash, acorn squash, butternut squash, four different types of tomotoes, beets, pumpkin, banana peppers, bell peppers, cucumbers, garlic and when I find some, corn, honeydew melon and onions. I have also planted seeds of arugula, mesclum mix and basil. We have pots of basil, cuban oregano, italian oregano and rosemary. Whew, lots of stuff..... We both have enjoyed watching the garden grow. Hopefully we will be able to keep it all alive!
