Every day we get closer to meeting Connor I get more excited and more shocked that the day is almost here! :D I'm glad that we're supposed to be at the Birthcare Center at 6:30am, because I'm sure I won't be able to sleep I'll be so excited. :) I'm a little nervous about the idea of an induction, as I didn't end up needing one with Avery and went into labor the night before. I've heard some horror stories about pitocin and how it can make your contractions really rough. But Sis speaks very highly of her induction, so hopefully I'll have as good of luck as she did. :)
Today I take my first round of steroids to try to boost my platelet levels back up. I'll take another round tomorrow. Then, hopefully, by Wednesday they'll have had enough time to work and my platelets will be back over 100k so I can get my epidural right away. I know I won't be nearly as scared or nervous about Connor's labor and delivery if I get my epidural. I know I can make it through as long as I have that. ;)
Today is our last family day before Connor gets here. Are you going to laugh and roll your eyes at me if I tell you I want to go out and do something with my family, like go to the zoo? ;) It's true. :P I figure we'll be home bound for a while after Connor gets here, and I don't want Avery to feel cooped up. So I want to make the most of today. I'll probably be complaining later tonight about how tired I am. :P Just tell me to suck it up and that you don't want to hear it, I did it to myself. ;)
To make matter worse, my friend Michelle is in town today from Emporia. This is obviously GREAT news! I love her soooo much! She is one of my oldest and closest friends. :) She wants to get together today for lunch to hang out one more time before I'm a Mommy of two. :) I am excited to see her and hang out with her for a while. But it's going to add to my long day. Oh well. I'll have all day Monday and Tuesday without the babies to rest! :D Thanks again, Mama!!
Here's what the next month or so looks like for our family:
-Mon-Tue: Mama watches the babies, Michael finishes his last 2 days of work before his leave

-Sun: Connor and I head to KC for Maggie's baby shower
Obviously there's a lot going between now and then! Most importantly, I'm anxious for my son to get here safely and to meet him. I love him so much already, I can only imagine how much love for him I'll feel once he's in my arms. :) I am soooo excited!! Only 3 more days!!!!!
