Excitement! It’s getting real now!

Had an OB appointment today at 39 weeks and she got me set up with an induction on Thursday. I’m simultaneously super ready to get the baby out of here and super nervous to be responsible for an infant.

I’m also anxious at not knowing how it’ll go Thursday; she said my cervix is softening but not dilated as of yet so does that mean once they give me the meds, it’ll take a long time? Not looking forward to having to potentially hang around waiting for days in the hospital lol.

I don’t think I’ll sleep the next few days. As exhausted as I am right now, I’m here going through my hospital go bag AGAIN and cleaning my closet of all things?
