The end is NEAR!

So my Dr. appt went well today...besides the fact that it took 2 1/2 hours and Yates had to work so my kids were with me! I was SUPER relaxed and the kids were angels until we'd been sitting there for about 45 minutes...then all heck broke loose. I was surely glad to be done!! I am still dilated to a 2, but I'm fully thinned. I have a scheduled induction for THURSDAY morning, June 5th. He tried to get me in earlier, but they're booked tomorrow and Wednesday so that was the soonest he could get me in. I could still go on my own anytime before then, but let's be honest...there's not much hope of that! I think our babies would rather live in the womb through kindergarten if they had their choice.
I am excited to finally have a nailed down date, but June 5th is a bittersweet day for me to deliver a baby. I have a niece, Mia, that would be turning 6 years old on that day. She passed away from Spinal Muscular Atrophy when she was only 15 months old. I have wanted to leave that day as a special day in memory of her, but hopefully these two little cousins are hanging out in heaven getting in their last few days together before our little spirit comes to live in our home.
Be waiting by your phones on Thursday...we'll try to send a message as soon as we can! YAHOO!!!!

Yea, the end is near. Maybe your baby will suprise you and come on its own, so it still leaves June 5 that special day. Either way it will be a great day.
