Ready, Set, BABY

We really thought Abby was going to make her grand entrance into this world on Friday. I started having contractions about 4pm. They were 20 min apart, and gradually got stronger and closer together. After an hour of the contractions being 5 min apart, we called Dr Martin and then headed up to L&D at the hospital. I was still only 1cm dilated. They kept us through the night, and my contractions got up to every 2-3 minutes, but still no more dilation. By the time Dr M did his morning rounds the contractions had pretty much stopped. I was a little disappointed to say the least. I think again Abby was asserting her Independence, as if just to say "hey mom and dad...I was just checking to see if you were ready to meet me"
We have talked with Dr Martin, and we have scheduled an induction for tomorrow, Monday, morning. So if all goes according to plan, which nothing so far this pregnancy has done, we will have a baby tomorrow.
We will send out another update once she is here!!! So be on the look out!!
Love,
Dan, Kim, and Abby
