Being Induced tonight

So I got the call today at 4 pm that I have to be at the hospital by 8 to start the induction process. Cervidal tonight, and pitocin started in the morning. 

They are inducing due to IUGR. Baby's head circumference and average measurements are at about 38.5 weeks, but some of his individual measurements like his abdomen, femur, and forehead are only at 35 weeks. They are estimating that he is weighing 5 lbs, but the OB said he could be as big as 6 1/2. They are hoping that he is on the bigger end, b/c she said the bigger he is the less likely there will be complication.

I'm excited that I finally get to meet my little boy tomorrow, but I'm worried and nervous at the same time. I'm praying there are no complication, and that we have a healthy problem. And I'm telling myself that it is a good thing that they realized there is a problem so that they will be prepared for it, in case there are complication... the NICU team will be on stand by for the delivery in case of complications.
