Baby will be here in about 15 hours!!!

This past weekend I had a feeling that our doctor was going to have Leia induced sometime before the end of this week. I was thinking maybe a Wednesday or Thursday delivery. I got the shock of my life though when after taking measurements of our "little" girl on ultrasound today, the decision was made to deliver TOMORROW MORNING! I say "little" girl because according to the measurements that were taken, she is 8 pounds and 14 ounces. Because of several factors (size of the baby, gestational diabetes, lack of labor progress) Leia will be giving birth by C-section at about 8 AM tomorrow morning, June 30th. We are less than 24 hours away from being parents! Probably about 15 hours from right now.

The C-section idea is a little scary, but the pre-planning makes me feel a little better. It isn't an emergency so it won't be rushed. We have to be at the hospital at 6 in the morning to get ready, and I still have a few things to get packed, so I better cut this short. Tune in tomorrow for pictures of our baby girl and the big reveal of THE NAME! Don't miss it!
