Since I was due yesterday and my blood pressure has been a bit concerning to the midwives, we've gone ahead and scheduled an induction. Unfortunately, my cervix is NOT ready for birth regardless of all the cramps I've been having and everything we've tried (which was everything but castor oil). So I'm scheduled to go into the hospital tomorrow evening (Thurs) for cervical ripening, followed by induction in the morning when my cervix is ready.

I was a bit disappointed cuz I wanted to do things as naturally as I could and inducing just increases the chances for more interventions. But I'm getting my mind around it and I'm getting SO damn anxious for her to get out of me that I'm just about jumping out of my skin for it to happen already. Hopefully tomorrow will go fast - I have an appt for a non-stress test and another exam tomorrow afternoon and after that it will just be a few hours before I head into the hospital. I still ahve to put some finishing touches on my bags now that we know the situation is going to be a bit different (more clothes for hubby, things to occupy us while we're waiting for labor to start, snacks etc). I've been getting flooded with well wishes and support, so I'm feeling pretty good about it.

We're so ready baby, and you'll be here this weekend!!!
