ThE lOw DoWn!

Yesterday Cody and I made the trip to Logan to see Dr. Noorda. I was a little apprehensive about the possibility of being started, not really sure I wanted yesterday to be the day but I was prepared for anything. After being checked and discovering that I am still dilated at a 3 and 80% thinned, we decided to wait a while longer to let things progress naturally and hopefully get the two remaining kidney stones traveling. HOWEVER, Dr. Noorda wouldn't let me go too long, because I have my ticket to go straight to the hospital Tuesday, March 4th, to be induced. We are hoping to have triplets, one baby and two kidney stones! Dr. Noorda said I better be thinking of some more names and I could decide the gender. They must be male if they cause so much pain! In the mean time he sent me home with some pain killer just in case the twins decide to come earlier. LOL!

So I guess it is possible that it could happen before than or the labor might take so long as to the 5Th of March. In all likelihood Ridge will be born on March 4Th! Yippee! I am so excited to have a few days left to rest and mentally prepare. I am thrilled to have it planned though. The idea of my water breaking in the middle of the night and having to scramble with care for Saige and the trip over the canyon just doesn't appeal to me. I am also relieved that it is not going to be during the high school musical so that I can maybe have help and wont distract my dad and sisters with their performance. Could I be so crazy as to hope that everything goes so smoothly that there is a chance I could go see the musical? Ya, you are right, nothing goes smoothly with me!!! So I wont hold my breath, just expect the unexpected!

Good Luck Britt! Hey you can always hope that everything goes smoothly, you never know maybe it will. I hope you have a great delivery and little Ridge gets here safe and sound. Oh ya, and the two other children you have to have.

That is so funny what you said about the triplets! Seriously though I am glad that you can have a game plan and take a little of the stress off. Good Luck!
