The countdown starts...

It's weird that I should be excited about my cervix softening. Anyways, according to the doctor, I am dilated 2cm, the cervix is 50% effaced, I am at station 2 and apparently could go at any time. I might actually have this May baby in May. However, should I not go on my own, she has decided to induce me next Thursday, the 21st. With my gestational diabetes and pregnancy induced hypertension, she feels that the longer I go, the more dangerous it is for me and Caleb. I am all for taking this dude out. Only thing is that the 21st is dad's birthday and I'm not sure I would like to have my son and my dad share a birthdate. My cousin Danny and our grandfather, though didn't share a birthday, always celebrated theirs together because it was only a few days apart. How sucky is it for a kid to never have your own birthday cake? His cakes have always said "Happy Birthday Danny and Grandpa". Funny I should stress about this. I supposed it's because otherwise I would stress about the fact that in 6 days, I will have a tiny human I will have to take care of.
