What's going on...

I thought I would take a minute and let you know what is going on. Marty and I went into the doctor yesterday for a final ultrasound. We are currently at 36 weeks. The ultrasound showed that the baby is big and we were debating between going in for an early induction or having a c-section. After talking with our doctor, we decided that we are going to try for an early induction, but that means that we have to drive to Eugene to have an amnio done to make sure that the lungs are developed. We will get the results of that Tuesday night and if everything is clear, then we will go in Thursday night so I can be induced. They say that it can take up to two days from the start of the induction process. If the test comes back saying that the lungs aren't developed, then we will go in on the 13th of March for the c-section. It seems crazy to me that our baby could be here by next weekend, but I am so excited to hold this little boy.

If you go in on Thursday night for the induction, you'll have the baby on Friday. Our bodies usually accept pitocin or cervidil pretty well so we're crossing our fingers and will be praying for healthy developed lungs and a smooth, short labor. If things turn out toward the c-section than we wish you for, well all the same things. :-)
I'm excited to see who little Martin looks like.
