Well, he's coming soon. We know for sure by the end of the week our family will be growing by one. Last night, after counting contractions all day again, they were between 3-5 minutes apart so we decided to head back into the hospital for assessment. After watching the first half of the Super Bowl on the fancy TV in our room, it was ... Once again, lots of contractions, but no progress.
We talked to the nurse about what we could do, since I've been having these contractions for 3 weeks now...all day long every day, but then they go away at night. I'm just afraid I'm going to start ignoring them because they have become part of the "normal" and then I'll be in trouble when the time is really here. She talked to the doctor and they decided that when I hit 39 weeks at the end of this week, they would be comfortable inducing me and they put me on the schedule for Friday if I don't have him before then.
So, stay tuned...sometime this week there will be news of Baby Boy Schuster and he will NOT be a Valentine baby if all goes as planned. I do have a scheduled appointment today, so if anything changes since yesterday, I will post again later.

YAY!! Cant wait to meet the stubborn little one!! :)
I experienced a lot of this with Emma. Thankfully when I went in I was dialated to a 3 and even though my contractions had petered out they kept me. I got my epidural, my doc broke my water and 30 minutes later we had Emma! Hang in there!
