The Final Countdown

We had our last weekly doctor appointment today. I haven't been feeling any contractions so I wasn't expecting much. However, I'm dilated to 1.5 and 70% effaced! Wow! The doctor then asks us about inducing again and how we felt about it. I told her that we were wondering if we could possibly induce on Halloween (Saturday). The doctor was understandably hesitant, especially since she has her own kids that she'd want to take trick-or-treating.
Then I mention that maybe we could induce late on Friday (30th) and hope that labor lasts past midnight. She thinks it over a little, and then says she'll go call the labor and delivery dept. at the hospital to explain what's going on and see if it'll work out. When she came back to the room, she said we were good to go and told us what to expect when we get to the hospital. Awesome! I'm supposed to report to admissions at the hospital at noon on Friday and then go up to labor and delivery to start the baby process. This works out great too because I don't have to work at all on Friday and Landon won't have to take off any time (except a half day Friday) unless I'm still in the hospital on Monday. Friday is also my brother's birthday. I don't really want Remington to have to share his birthday, but my brother would love it if Remington was born then.
I'm excited, but kinda nervous too. It's like we lost 2 days now, and now it's a bit more real that we'll have a baby this weekend. I'll make sure to bring the laptop along to the hospital to post something of an update if I can. I don't know how much I'll be able to post though, but I will definitely have pictures up ASAP. So, Remington, we'll see you in 3 days!

By the way: We just sold our last two puppies tonight. A couple our age took the last two puppies together. It was so cute how they were cuddling each other, it was probably hard to split them up. :)

Wow, just a quick trip to Walmart today to get groceries and my feet are killing me. My ankles are incredibly swollen.

Less than 10 days until the due date, I can't believe how fast it's going. We got a call from the crib place earlier this week, and the crib is supposed to be in on Monday! Yay, finally.

Landon and I started decorating the house for Halloween tonight. We might not get to see the kids come, but our house will still look awesome. At our next doctor's appointment I'm going to ask if we can induce on Halloween. We might not be able to though since it's on a weekend. We'll find out.

Random 10 Friday

I really have nothing much to say. I've been sick the last couple days so I haven't done much. Today I did go shopping with my sister and brother to prepare for the baby shower this Sunday at my parent's house. I can't wait.

Landon and I are starting to decorate for Halloween tomorrow. Last year we went all out and became "that house", the one that the kids were talking about. This was mostly because we handed out huge pixie sticks, full size candy bars, and laffy taffy. We probably had over 100 kids. This year, we plan to do much the same. The only thing is that Remington is due the day after Halloween. If he comes early we'll have someone (one of my brothers, probably) at the house to hand out candy. We both really hope he's born on Halloween, it'd be so cool to have your birthday on Halloween every year.

Landon is watching the movie Tommy right now on VH1 Classic. Now that is a movie you have to watch stoned or high for it to make any since. Weird.
