Well, I was hoping to go into labor yesterday so I wouldn't have to make my doctor's appointments today. No such luck, but everything was fine, and they're guessing Natalie already weighs 7 pounds, 9 ounces (huge when you consider that Julian only weighed 6 pounds, 3 ounces!). No cervical action yet, so we are still on for induction on Wednesday. I'll actually be admitted on Tuesday night to start the "ripening" process, then will get pitocin sometime on Wednesday when conditions look more favorable. The whole process usually happens within 24 hours. I cannot tell you how excited I am to be going to the hospital Tuesday night instead of Wednesday morning!
Oh, I got my Binsi top (style: Thankini, color: black/mystery) and skirt (style: Prima Mama, color: mars/burgundy) today, and am pleasantly surprised by the quality of the fabrics and fit. I looked at the skirt and thought I'd look ridiculous, but it's actually one of the few skirts that looks decent on me. The outfit is really cute, and DH loves it. Hopefully so will the nursing staff. Admittedly, I do feel a little self-conscious, like, "Look at me, I am too cute for the hospital gown," but hey, it's my party, right?

yea for the plan!
i have to admit, when i first read about the birthing outfit, i thought, wtf? but if it makes you feel fabulous, then more power to you. i hope you won't look down on me when you see my pics with my nasty hospital-issue gown on.
Hooray for a plan! I can't believe she'll be here in less than a week! So excited for you!
hi alysse,
glad to hear that you got your binsi set in time for the big day. btw, it was nice seeing you the other day and been meaning to tell you how great you look, really glowing.
i'm totally beside myself right now, can't wait to meet natalie.
love, jen
Yes, it is your party! Wow, five days!!
OMG, only 4/5 more days? this really is getting down to the business end of the pregnancy isn't it. So glad the Binsi arrived and that you have a firm birth date in mind. This is truelly amazing. hope you have a fabulous 4 days (last minitue baby shopping, brunch at some gorgeous cafe... snatch a movie or two... lounging around with the hubby in toe) and know everybody's wishing you well from all sides of the globe.
sorry, that should have said 'hubby in TOW', but he could just hang off your toe, if he wants to.
I may not get a chance to write but I wanted to wish you happy birthing day. Blessings to you and your little girl.
I will be thinking of you and waiting impatiently for news!
It's totally your party!! This is very exciting, you know. :)
I will be thinking about you tonight/tomorrow. I was away this weekend and was wondering if anything was happening with you, so I was happy to read about the "plan"! I truly wish you all the best.......please still keep in touch!
