Induction Begins!

We just got back from the doctor's office... all signs point to baby being ready to come... today! So... we're meeting Dr. Brewster in the hospital this afternoon to start an induction. She'll be starting with a 'ripening' agent to get the uterus etc 'ripe' and ready for contractions - this could take up to 12 hours. If contractions haven't started at that point, then she'll go for Pitosin, the contraction inducing shot (which is totally safe & most of my friends have had it with no bad side effects)... So... baby Bolger will most likely be born today or tomorrow.

We're both pretty excited - Jeff is like a rock, he is so excited and comforting and a fabulous support. I'm a bit nervous but mostly just in shock that the next time we come home, we'll have our little man.

Stay tuned... we'll be updating the blog as this little story develops.
