Tuesday! I am being induced Tuesday (probably later at night) and will have her on Wednesday! I am still waiting to hear from the doctor on when to check into the hospital, but that is the plan so far. I spent an exhausting Thursday at three doctors/hospital appointments to determine this. First, I had my regular appointment with my doctor. She did an ultrasound and McKall was behind in growth and the doc found a few other things that she was looking for to determine if I needed to be induced. The doctor wanted to determine if I needed to be induced that day, or if we could wait, so she sent me to the hospital to do a non-stress test and have blood work done. That determines if the baby is under any type of stress at all. After being strapped up and poked the baby was was fine. Then she called the maternal fetal specialist to see if she would squeeze us in to do another ultrasound and other readings that my doc can't do with her machine. So we headed there and got to see McKall again. The specialist also determined that she was not growing like they would like to see and decided she needed to come out, but she didn't feel it was an emergency, so we will be headed in on Tuesday. They estimated her to be 5 something (it was a long day!) pounds. So she will be a little thing like Hayden. Please have us in your thoughts and pray that she will be healthy! We are very excited and it is nice to finally have an end to the bed rest.

Good Luck with everything! I hope all goes well! Let us know when you have her!
Congrats and you all are in our thoughts and prayers. I am so excited for you guys and that the time is near for her to come into the world. Jessica had a little surprise last Sunday night and Rachell came a little earlier than expected. They are doing good and are excited for you too. Let me know if we can help in anyway.
I know its not like your busy or anything in the next day or two, but if you get bored could you help me figure out some my blog problems still. So I finally figured out how to add the slideshow but I can't get it to be on the side instead of where on the new posts are...because right now it will go down with page with new posts. What am I doing wrong???
Hope everything goes great! I'm excited for you that you get to meet little McKall so soon! Yay!
i hope all goes well. you will be in my thoughts and prayers. good luck with everything.
