Many changes

Well after weeks of frustrations and all sorts of different answers, we finally got a date to be induced yesterday. Looks like I will go in this Sunday night at 7 and they will do some gel to hopefully open my cervix. Then start pitocin Monday morning. We only got this after getting angry witht this fill in Dr. lady but that is just a long story I will spare you all the details of that conversation. I have yet to gain or measure any bigger, in fact after thanksgiving I lost a pound and seem to be stuck at 18 total gain.
Then this morning I was heading out to feed the cat and fell down our three deck steps. Oh that felt great on my already painful back and ribs. I then panicked and had to get myself calm because John was already gone to work. I went inside and tried to walk it off. I called John too and made sure to say, now I am ok, but.... He wanted me to call the Dr. so I did. I actually got a nice nurse for once and she said, I am sure it is fine but let's just be safe and have you come in anyway. What a relief. So I am going in at 1. The nice thing is I am supposed to see Dr. Keller who I have never met but is on call for Monday the 12th. They are supposed to schedule you with everyone so that you know all the Dr.'s before delivery, but he is a West DSM Dr. and I rarely go to that office.
So it is officially, we will be parents in a matter of days. I am very excited and nervous. Last night I had three contractions starting at 3 am and that was it. I knew it was just Braxton Hicks but that is the first I have had of them. Wasn't very pleasant but I am not complaining about those when I am sure it is nothing like the real thing.
John got a new job! One he really has wanted still at Allied just a different position. He is thrilled and I am too. Crazy timing though. John also got a terrible cold yesterday and is home very sick. When he gets that it just hits him so hard. And men are such whiners when sick. So instead of him phampering me this week I will be taking care of him. Good thing I do not mind. I hope he is better by Sunday though because I am going to go to Big Steer in Altoona and eat anything and everything I can as my last meal for who knows how long.
