Today was what should be my last doctor's appointment until this baby comes. There were no changes. I'm still 1 cm dialated and 80% effaced. You would think with all those contractions I was having something would have happened! Oh well. She stripped my membranes again. I've been having contractions since but by comparing it to last time that doesn't really mean anything. Again she said we'd know within 12- 24 hours if it did its job.
We scheduled an induction for Sunday morning just in case he decides he doesn't want to come before then. I contemplated trying to go for Friday. I thought that might be easier for the family to be able to come up over the weekend. But after thinking about it, it shouldn't matter. I want to do what is best for the baby and if he needs an extra couple of days to come on his own then I'm going to give it to him. I really don't want to be induced. I really want him to come on his own. Please pray that he'll come on his own before Sunday. I don't even care if it is Saturday night, just as long as he could do it on his own.
They hooked me up to a monitor to check the kid's heart rate and my contractions for about 30-45 minutes. It was kind of fun to listen to it over a extended time. The doc said everything looks really good and that there was nothing to worry about.
I met Kyle for lunch after the appointment. I love meeting up with him in the middle of the day. I also went and got groceries which I wasn't too thrilled about. However, it was all worth it when I was walking out of walmart and saw this adorable three year old boy with a big smile and wearing an awesome batman mask. Oh, how I am looking forward to that!

We'll be praying for you! But to tell you the truth, it isn't that bad to be induced, usually just more waiting. Hang in there! :)
At least you know it'll all be over with this week, one way or another! Call us when the little guy gets here and you feel ready for visitors!
