December 28th, baby!!!

I went in for my regular check-up today with an agenda.  I know, I should have an agenda every time I see the doctor, but I don't.  Anyways, on the agenda today was INDUCTION!!!  Every doctor I see (and I see many) says I am going to be induced due to my high blood pressure, but no one has told me any details about being induced.  So I figured I'd ask the doctor that will deliver my little place kicker (cause he/she always kicks me in the same spot).  If it doesn't happen naturally, I am planned to be induced on the 28th of December.  

I know to some people, scheduling takes the fun out of birth, but not for me.  I LIKE knowing when things are going to happen, so this sits nicely in my head.  I have over 3 weeks to keep plugging away at getting things ready for baby Sullivan.  I will go in the night of the 27th and baby kick-alot will come on the 28th! On top of that, I had to have this culture taken for strep (I think) and it came out negative, so I don't have to have an IV!!!  WOOHOO!!!  The idea of giving birth doesn't stress me out (yet) but the idea of having to potentially wear an IV for birth was NOT nice in my brain.  I HATE needles and the idea that I would have to walk around with one in my arm for an extended period of time not only grossed me out, but stressed me out.  I'm VERY happy about that piece of news.

So if the heavens above don't bring junior before the 28th, that's when he/she will be arriving!
