Big day!!

So, there's been no sign of our little lady coming this weekend and the final day to wait is over! I go in at 7AM in the morning to be induced! Today was very bittersweet for me as it was my daughters last day as an only child and I of course realized this and became an emotional wreck but daddy and I took her for dinner, she had a special breakfast with just me and she had some cuddle time with daddy before bed tonight! I'm just hoping not to shock her too much about the baby. (She's 20mo and super smart and knows that baby Paige is coming tomorrow and seems rather excited)

Doing all my last minute packing and making sure baby, me and daddy all have what we need for the hospital and praying to God for a safe and quick delivery tomorrow! Also praying for a vaginal delivery and no csection!! Lol

Recovery is really the only thing in worried about. My boyfriend (babies dad) only gets 5 days off for the birth and goes back into work basically right away and my parents both work, I don't have any friends (none that I'm close to anyways) and I have my 20mo and a newborn to take care of on top of being a little more helpless from a c-section so I'd be totally screwed lol

Don't be scared of a c section. They numb you up so good you don't feel anything. Yes recovery is harder but don't be afraid if its needed

Ill definitely keep you guys posted! As of Wednesday I was only about 80-85% effaced an baby was still coming down but I wasn't dilated and my mucus plug was still in tact. However I have dropped severely in the last couple days and have had more of that mucousy discharge the last 2 so I'm hoping I go in with some sort of progress tomorrow! I'm totally scared of having a csection due to baby being too big from the GD but I want a healthy baby no matter what the cost so if it means I get an epi (against my original plan) and that'll do the trick ten guess I'm getting an epi! If it means I need a csection, then I guess I'm gonna have one! Lol

And I know 2ndbaby77!!! I saw your post from before and said the same thing! Haha! Good luck to you!!
