38 Weeks - Induction Time!!

She had her 38 week ob appointment today and after anxiously pacing the house, she called to say that her cervix has thinned out but she's still dilated at a 5.

So they're going to induce her tomorrow morning at 1030!!  

I was really relieved to hear this because I've been reading about the dangers of letting twins go past 38 weeks; APGAR scores are lower, their placentas could abruptly separate from the uterine lining, umbilical cord issues, etc.  Things I probably shouldn't be reading but idle hands are the devils playground.

So we fly out to Madison tomorrow morning and should get there a little after 9am.  Hopefully after they start the dilation, it shouldn't take more than a couple of hours.  We're both extremely excited, and a tad nervous, about finally meeting our girls!!
