As I sit to write this post, it's hard for me to imagine back to when we were just a family of 3!  Before I forget all the details, I wanted to write out Bennett's birth story.  Here's the first part of the story!

I went to my doctor's appointment on March 19th hoping for news that I was progressing towards a baby.    I also had a phone that was at 10% battery but I figured I would be in and out and back home.  I was SHOCKED when my doctor talked to me about being induced.  I was a week until my due date on Friday the 23rd and with my gestational diabetes, they wanted to make sure I wasn't going to be delivering a huge baby!  Currey had wanted to come to the appointment but Blythe needed a nap and I had continued to assure him that it would be a quick visit.  So with limited battery on my phone I was trying to figure out the logistics, get Currey's thoughts and process this news all while chatting with my doctor.  Although the thought of induction scared me a little, my dad had a planned trip to Chicago and would be with us until Monday.  Being induced on Friday meant Blythe could stay at our house with my dad all weekend which seemed like the best plan.  I then anxiously sat through a 30 minute stress test (just to make sure baby and I were doing fine) before I could get to my car phone charger and talk to Currey.  Now clearly at 38 weeks you know that your baby can be born at any time but the fact that I now knew for sure I'd be holding my little man on the 23rd was CRAZY!!!
