Well, it looks like the waiting is coming to an end. We are scheduled to induce labor tomorrow, Oct. 29. We have a couple of appointments set up for tomorrow morning with our doctors, starting at 8:00 am. After we are done with them, we will be checking into Labor & Delivery.
The induction process can take anywhere from 12-36 hours, and last time it took about 23 hours. The doctors have said they have no way of predicting how long it will take, we just have to wait for the medication to work.
We are expecting to begin the process mid-to-late morning tomorrow, so we may deliver as early as tomorrow night. We are hoping that it will be more like Friday morning, though. Unfortunately, there is no chance that the baby will be alive when we deliver.
Thank you all again for all of the support and compassion you have shown us over the last few months. W3 are terribly disappointed in how this is ending, but we can't say that we are surprised at all. And, to the extent that we are able, we are relatively prepared for what is going to happen over the next couple of days. Please continue to pray for us- for strength for us and our doctors, and for peace for our baby. We absolutely hate that this is happening, but, unfortunately, we know from experience that the only way out of it is to go through it.
We will continue to keep you posted as we are able. We will definitely let you all know when our daughter is born. Thank you again for the love and support!
