The Wait Is Almost Over

A quick update for all.

Doctor's appointment was pretty much the same as this past Monday. Baby is still moving down, I'm still thinning out, and yes, I'm still not dilating. At least the doctor isn't going to make me go two whole weeks overdue.

Here's the plan: if I don't go into labor on my own by Monday, then I go back to the doctor's office Monday at 4pm. He'll do another Non-Stress Test to make sure that baby is still doing well. Then I'll be sent down to labor & delivery that afternoon to get checked in. They'll also start Cervidil to encourage my cervix to dilate. Tuesday morning they'll start the Pitocin to begin contractions. Basically they'll be inducing me Tuesday if I don't have the baby on my own by then. Not really thrilled about being induced but baby has to come out sometime. Plus we will all finally get to know if it's a boy or a girl.
