The date is set!

Ryan and I were thrilled today to go in for our appointment and hear great news! While waiting in the waiting room, we discussed what we thought would happen. We always set our expectations too high only to come out disappointed - so, knowing that our due date is still a week away - we tried to go in with low expectations of when this baby would be getting here. Our guess was next Monday at the earliest. We were pleasantly surprised when we ran into Dr. Cauthen in the hall as soon as we walked back and she said she was going out of town on Sunday and said she needed deliver this baby before then - music to our ears! :) I know our faces just lit up! We went back for the appointment and everything looked great - still making a little progress (but, not much!) and still a chance the baby can make it's mind up and come before then - but Friday night sure would be perfect! I have been worried about figuring out childcare for Ali and Rhodes - and knowing this (and knowing that it is a weekend when grandparents are off work - plus, most are off on next Monday too - how perfect is that?) made me so thrilled! We are supposed to start calling Labor and Delivery Friday night at 5:30 and they can either tell us to come in right away or to just wait around and it could be 2/3 in the morning or even Saturday morning sometime! Who knows - but so glad to know there is an end in sight and we will get to meet our sweet bundle of joy (and find out if it is a boy or girl) in just a few short days no matter what! If anything changes, I will be sure to update!
