It's almost time

I went to the doctor on Thursday and have made very little progress. I reach 42 weeks on Monday and the doctor tells me that the risks to the baby start to increase after this long. She has asked me to come in Monday morning to start the process of inducing. It will take quite a while so we should have our little Zane by Tuesday or Wednesday.
The first day should be fairly boring. They will start by prepping my cervix, 12 to 24 hours. When I am dilated to 3-4 cm, they will start pitocin if my body has not taken over the process. I am hoping that my body will take over at some point...please God!
If we experience complications or if my body does anything crazy, the doctor will want to go for a c-section. I am praying that we don't end up having to go under the knife.
Keep us in your prayers!
We will let you know when Zane arrives.
