Tomorrow is the Big Day

Its here....well almost, we will be inducing tomorrow morning at 5:00 AM. I have had issues with my blood platelets being low or below 100K the past few weeks. When I went in today, the date of induction depended on my platelet level. If it was low, I had to get a steroid shot to boost them back up, if they were above 100K then we would go ahead with the induction.
Now why the platelet level so important??? It effects whether or not I can have an epidural!!!! WE WANT ONE OF THOSE!!!!
My results came back in this afternoon and my platelets were at 101K!!!! We are good to go!!!
I will hopefully be able to update with pictures when we get a chance. Until then.....

Yea! You've got a good day! June 3rd is Ellie's b-day. I told her that you were having your baby tomorrow and her words exactly were "That is great! We will have the same birthday!" It will be hard, but try to get some sleep tonight! It will be the last time you get a good night sleep in a while! Catherine

Oh yay, I just saw your blog via Cortney's blog. I haven't seen you in forever, but I've been keeping tabs on you when I visit Bolton. I briefly saw your parents last week, just after your fall--that was scarey! I'm so excited for you with your baby coming tomorrow. I'm adding you to my blog list so I can be sure to see pictures of him/her. Hope everything goes smoothly!

I'll be thinking about you and praying for a safe & painless (wink, wink) delivery! Can't wait to hear whether you guys have a new baby girl or boy!!
