Today is my official due date. Of course, that doesn't mean anything considering all of my other babies have been 1-2 days overdue everytime. Yesterday was pretty miserable and I was feeling pretty mopey. Last week the doctor said they wouldn't induce me until I reached 42 weeks or until the baby was in distress. And I immediately lost hope in ever having this baby. All of my other doctors have scheduled my induction for just a few days after my due date and that seems to be all I need to send me into labor. But the thought of having to wait 2 more weeks to be induced was almost more than I could bear. So I was moping and feeling very sorry for myself. Lucky for me, Mom came over and bought me pizza and Mark listened while I cried like a baby and I had a nap on the couch and eventually felt much better and decided I could make it two more weeks if I absolutely had to.
Anyway, then I saw the doctor and it doesn't look like it will be anything near two more weeks. I'm dilated to a three, he stripped my membranes and scheduled to induce me on October 4th. So, merrily, there is an end in sight. Of course, as we waited for him to schedule my induction I started having some severe anxiety over going into labor and all the work that comes with having a new baby and was about ready to say, "Nevermind. . . I'll wait!" But I didn't and for now we're hoping we'll have a baby as soon as tomorrow, if everything goes as usual. So here's to an end in sight and a healthy baby and a painless labor. Well. . . at least a healthy baby and an end in sight. I'll deal with the labor part when it gets here.
