I am 39 weeks pregnant and due to the peripartum cardiacmyopathy I experienced at the end of my pregnancy with the twins it has been determined that it is safer to deliver this baby sooner than later. So tomorrow morning I will be induced. I am both delighted and nervous. Delighted that my baby will soon be in my arms, delighted that I will soon be able to bend down and go five minutes without heartburn. Nervous because induction labor is harder and I am older now.
Your prayers for a peaceful labor would be greatly appreciated. I will do my best to teach Dave to post the news here on the blog :). My friend Chris will have the latest news though and I will ask her to keep you updated.
Thank you for all of your support and prayers over the last nine months.
