My appointments yesterday went well. Right now baby Cassiana is estimated to weigh about 5 lbs 11 oz. I didn’t have much change in my cervix since last week. Last week I was 1 cm and this week I am 1.5 cm dilated. She has dropped lowered but no signs of going into labor yet.  Next week will be my last set of appointments at the University before she comes.

 

Only 10 more days to go until I am induced!  Apart of me wants to go into labor naturally because it is so much easier but another part of me is scared that I wouldn’t make it to the hospital.  Induction labor is so much harder and much more painful than natural labor and I’m not looking forward to it.

 

As the days get closer and closer to baby Cassiana’s arrival I find myself overwhelmed with emotions.  I know that the really journey beings once she is born. Am I ready for it? Will I be able to handle it? Will this bring our family closer together or tear us apart? Will we be able to keep up with everything? Excited…scared…nervous…anxious!!!  Oh my!!
