well, it is that time of the week again. the time when you find out more about my cervix than you care to know. ;)
anyways, there really isn't much change. i'm now a full 1 cm dilated, still 80% effaced, and baby is still at -1 station. i'm not really encouraged by that. sigh. but at least things changed a little, i guess. the doctor did pull my cervix forward and try to stretch it- and boy did that feel good! ahh!- to see if that would help. i guess we will have to wait and see on that one.
as for the induction it is in the process of being scheduled. it will either be the 25th or the 27th. the reason is the baby seems like it may be big. i had trouble delivering bean (she was delivered via vacuum) and she was only 6 pounds 15 ounces. a bigger baby may present even more difficulties. i really want to avoid a c-section if at all possible so we are going to try it. the doctor also said it is very common to go into labor after scheduling an induction, so we are hoping that sprout decides to come out on his/her own in the next couple of days and i won't even need the appointment. ;)
so that is that. by next week we should be a family of four. wish me luck!! :)

(I have my sex guess, too... if you wish to hear it!) :)
Umm, OUCH! That sounds painful. At least you have an end in sight now. I know that in itself can be a big relief. I'm wishing you the best of luck that things go the way you hope and you get to delivery easily and naturally. :)
A family of 4 yeah! Wait what about the Maggie? Kris had a Baby boy last week and soon another baby!! Can't wait to meet him/her.
ack! it seems like just yesterday when you "announced" your sprout - i'm so excited that he/she may be here within a week! we are all pulling for you and hoping for a very smooth delivery!
