Looks like Thursday is the day

Our doctor just came by for a consult and it looks like she is shooting for Thursday. We have to balance out the risk of infection (since the water broke) and how long we can keep her in there. They are going to check her out tomorrow internally to see if all parts are ready and determine what we need to do for sure.

So now, if all goes as planned, Thursday morning Aub will be put on Pitocin. This will start the process but worst case is if she doesn't respond then there is the option of the C-Section. The doctor doesn't want to do this electively nor is she worried right now that it will come to that. She is also not concerned if that does happen. Really, they all feel the baby is strong and with the right help, she can come home to us soon.

Aub is doing really well. Since this is more than a month before all of this was supposed to happen, it has to be hard for her. She also wasn't prepared for the premie stuff so really I think she is handling this really well. I am very proud of my wife watching her go through this process and I think she is going to be a wonderful mother. I love her very, very much.

I will keep posting although there may not be much to report. However, check this out: they have massage available here! How great is that! You can get all kinds of services. Manicures, pedicures, etc. This place is wonderful. They really understand what these moms go through and they do a great job of making them feel at home.
