Today was the last actual doctors visit. In fact the front desk nurse said, "no more 4:00 appointments." Ally is weighing in at or around 7 pounds and is scheduled to arrive Monday. We are going in to the hospital Sunday night around 6:00. They are going to give me a pill to help soften the cervix more. Although, today it was 70 percent effaced. I was not dilated anymore than a centimeter, but the doctor was defiantly sure that it was time for her to come. He is afraid that if we wait any longer, her head is going to be too big for me to deliver on my own. He is going to start me on pitocin around 7:00 Monday morning. The process should be around 12 hours, therefore, by 3:00 Monday afternoon Miss Ally should be in our arms. However, he said there is always the chance that things don't go as planned and that it could be even Tuesday before she arrives.
We are very excited, yet nervous as we prepare for Ally. We are very anxious to meet our little girl. We ask that you keep us in your prayers for the next few days as we prepare for her and of course as I encounter labor and delivery for the first time. Pray that I am not to harsh on Wes, as he will be a great husband through the process, and of course a wonderful daddy in a few days.
We look forward to posting next time pictures of Miss Allyson Beatrice Kerr.
