Update

So, we made it to 38 weeks!  That is very exciting and that is as far as we will go because I am getting induced tomorrow.  I had a doctor's appointment this morning and was more dilated than last week and my doctor said that we needed to make some decisions.  Of course things are not simple and because I tested positive for strep b, that adds to everything.  The best case with that is that I get two doses of antibiotics in me before the baby comes and with how far I am dilated and how far away we live, we decided that the best option is for me to be induced.  That will make sure that the baby gets the antibiotics it needs to be healthy and not have to worry about what might happen.  We have to be at the hospital at 5am tomorrow morning, when they will start me on the antibiotics and then around 7:30 am will start me on pitocin.  Lord willing, we will be able to meet our new little one tomorrow and all will be well.  

These pictures are from the weekend.  Caily got in the river for the first time since last summer and loved every minute of it.  






Caily pulled up her chair beside Darin as he was watching and listening to some music on the computer and put her little arm up on his leg, I love watching the two of them together.  
I look silly in the picture, but I wanted to post the last belly shot taken on Saturday.  
Anyway,  I don't know when I will post next, but I wanted to give a short update on what the next couple of days will look like.  We would love your prayers for a safe delivery, healthy baby, smooth transition time and that Caily would do well away from us and in this time of adjustment.  Thank you.
