Pregnancy Update

This is me at 38 weeks... I am almost finished :) So what the doctor says: My doc wanted to induce me this Wednesday and as exciting as it sounded I said no. I am not a believer in being induced unless of course the baby needs to come out for medical reasons and or it is way past the due date. The problem I have with my pregnancies is that I just don't seem to dialate... for the past 3 weeks I have been at barley a one. This is progress compared to my pregnancy with Caleb. Caleb was 9 days late and did have an induce date for the 14th of August but the little man came on his own. I go to the doctor again tomorrow and I am sure he will ask again... I want to tell him not at least until after I have reached the actual due date of September 1st. My hope is this little girl will come on her own and induction will no longer be an option. I feel like inductions are really stressful for both mom and baby... any advice or opinions are more than welcome.

I have been having some contractions on and off over the weekend and I will update as needed.

I was just thinking about you this morning and hoping to see a blog update...and low and behold! I totally hope the babe comes on my Birthday, that would be so awesome. I am not a fan of inducement either, heard too many stories of long labors, and personally, I like the excitement of hurrying to the hospital and going on my own...although when the baby's late, inducement is tempting. Ronnie was 10 days late and Rebecca was three late-Jace was a week early, good boy. But good for you for wanting to go on your own, I am with ya! Can't wait to see the little tike!

I am so ready to have this baby! man! I bet you are feeling similar...being induced is so tempting but it takes away the element of surprise. They think I have a giant baby so I may be forced to get induced this coming week, but we'll see...
