[day 83] a balloon catheter.

holy cow. today is the last day that i'll be carrying baby L. how time flies.

i know i've mentioned this before in my post, but today is that day where i had a foley balloon inserted in to my cervix since it was unfavorable. the good thing about the balloon foley is that it's  "mechanical" by nature, it's almost as though it would start labor naturally for me rather than the usage of drugs. OK, so that's a big bonus. i was nervous going into the doc's office though, but more nervous knowing that it wasn't going to be my doctor who would look down there to have it inserted. i knew it was going to be a male and only made an assumption it was going to be someone really old. well, i was wrong. as i sat there with no panties on, here comes my doctor's backup for the day. OH MY GAWD, he was equivalent to a justin timberlake. i couldn't believe it! he was so hot and i felt bad that he had to look down there! i was going to take a picture of him as he was inserting the balloon catheter, but then i would be this creeper jeeper so i refrained. 

the procedure took less than 10 minutes. it felt uncomfortable having the end of the balloon dangle out of my vagina, but i knew it was going to be removed by morning. the doc told me i should be 3-4 cm dilated by the time i come into the hospital. 

 i'm looking forward to meeting baby landon tomorrow. here comes the monitored, blood pressured, poked time at the hospital! i hope baby comes out healthy. i'm going to miss my three boys at home. hopefully, i'll only have to stay a little over 24 hours and reunite with my boys again. 





love my boys. xoxo.
