Oh, hai.
Oh, hai.
It's me, and I'm home, still pregnant as ever. lol.
Um, yeah. So, no clue as to the *pop* I heard or what all that looovely fluid is, but its still there. Best guess? Lost of mucus and cervical fluid because I am 50% effaced and dialated to 1.5. Those aren't great numbers, but they are an imporvement over Friday, so I'll take it. :-)
SO, tomorrow I will call at 6am and see when they want me to come in to the hospital to begin induction. It's time. Even though its not our Plan A, it is the best option for a happy and healthy baby pirate at the moment, so I'm goin with it. We will start with a round of Cervidyl, then move on to Pitocin if that doesn't take. And if THAT doesn't work, well ... I'm not even gonna go there right now. They did offer to let me stay at Chateau Hospital tonight and start the induction tonight, but part of me still wanted to contiue the homeopathy and give my body another 12 hours to do its thang. PLUS, darling husbad was excited about the prospect of one more night together to get this party started naturally (does he have any idea how much EFFORT that's gonna take on my part?! lol ... I am SOOO tired!)
So, that's the deal. Thanks for all your warm thoughts and sweet wishes. Baby by midnight tomorrow or bust (or burst, quite literally!). Take care all! And, Donna, thanks for posting! I heart you!

I know - I wasn't thrilled to be induced with my first - but knew it was for the best. I will think happy labor vibes for you and hope that your body will take charge!
Regardless I can't wait to hear of baby pirates arrival and will be thinking of you both tomorrow.

Good Morning, Cindy!
Eh, its okay. You know what they say ... the best laid plans ... haha. I'm really okay with everything. The baby is the most important thing, and I really feel like I'm doing what is best for her right now. I'm just anxious and want to get this show on the road! :-) Thanks for your support!

Well...it's 9 p.m. for me, so even in California it's 7 a.m....so I guess you either went in to labor last night (I hope so!) or you're in and getting ready for inducement. Good luck on whatever the plan is. I hope you're holding your baby pirate soon!

Mom to Khaled
I had to have the cytotec, um, the OTHER way, with both boys. After getting it that way it was fairly quick to get things going. My doctor insisted that it is just a cummulative effect and that my body was finally ready. I personally think my body didn't process the pill the same (being POST WLS) and they should have done it that way from the beginning, like I said to, and it would have at least shaved a few hours off those labors. I hope your docs listen to you and you have a wonderful labor and delivery!
