I had my regular doctor appointment today and while there were no physical changes with me (still 3cm), we did get a date set for the arrival of our baby girl! The doctor gave us a choice of Monday, Tuesday or Thursday to induce. We went ahead and picked Thursday because Monday and Tuesday would have to be done at another hospital and possibly in a semi-private room. Since we are already now familiar with our hospital, we went ahead and chose Thursday, March 1st for our baby girls birthday!! I don't think it has quite sunk in yet that one week from today we'll be able to hold our little girl for the first time!! So next Thursday, we need to be at the hospital at 5:30am and they will begin inducing me at 7:00am.

As for right now, I am still pretty uncomfortable. I've also started to retain some water this week. I've noticed it in my hands and face mostly. I can't really put my engagement ring on comfortably anymore without fear of it not being able to come off so I can only wear my wedding band. We're just very happy to finally have an end date to look foward too. She could always decide to come earlier, which would be great, but if not, we know for sure when we'll see her!

Thanks to everyone for your thoughts and prayers! We're really anxious to finally be able to meet our little girl! Now the countdown really begins! :)

Love,
Tim & Steph
