{40 weeks + 4 days}

As of today we are scheduled to show up at the hospital Wednesday @ 8 to be induced. After hearing that the only appointment we could get was on the 24th I made another call to my doc last Friday explaining the major conflicts of that day. I finally had to say that we are willing to do whatever needs to be done to have Cooper before the 24th becuase I need Brandon there with me even if it involves having one of the other doctors deliver me. (for those who dont know about the conflict feel free to ask I am just not allowed to post on here yet the reason) So we went in to see Dr. Ehmer first thing this morning and we were thinking we might be admitted today, but Cooper is still not cooperating, he is still to high so it could pose difficulties with the induction. We pray and ask that you pray as well that by Wednesday morning at 8am he has either come on his own or at least moved into position enough to be induced. As Dr. Ehmer explained, by Wednesday we start playing a game with time since I will be 41 weeks on Thursday. We start weighing the pros and cons of time and induction. So for now we wait patiently and anxiously at the same time knowing that everything will work out in its right time, we are not in control, He is.....

Here are some pics from today, I have started making Brandon look so slim!!!



On a side note, for those who have been asking about coming to the hospital, please know that Wednesday there is no telling what time things will be happening. We will alert the masses when Cooper gets here. At this point Thursday and Friday will be better to try and visit, assuming he is here, oh Lord please let him be here.
Thanks for all your calls, texts and emails. We were just talking earlier about how blessed we are to have such caring and involved family and friends.

You are in our prayers. Thanks for keeping us updated even though it's been a little stressful around your house. You guys will be great parents and this is just another test before you jump in the boat with the rest of us! Thinking about you on Wednesday!
