The big day!

Hello to all! So today is the big day! We are scheduled for an induction this morning. We have to be at the hospital at 7:30 and hopefully things will move quickly. We are very eager and excited to meet this little guy (Kai) of ours. Yesterday I had an amniocentesis done to determine if baby's lungs were mature enough for an early delivery. It didn't work the first time, baby got in the way. So they had to do it a second time. Luckily they were able to get enough fluid the second time before baby started to head towards the needle again (he apparently didn't want to be bothered). We did not get the results back until a little after 9 pm last night, which seemed like forever. They came back with baby's lungs being mature enough, so we able to keep our scheduled induction today! Levi and I are very tired. We haven't gotten much sleep in the past so many weeks. There has been so much on our minds with baby...excitement, nervousness, worrying, anticipation..and the list goes on. It seems as we have been getting closer to this day, things keep looking brighter. Yesterday, the doctor had told us that baby (Kai) didn't appear to be as "puffy" as he anticipated. So that's a good thing. Well, we will keep everyone posted. We are praying that everything goes good and we get to bring our baby Kai home in a few days!
